Induced abortion involves the voluntary interruption of pregnancy.
Induced abortion is the voluntary interruption of pregnancy . The practice consists of causing the premature termination of the pregnancy, preventing the vital development of the embryo or fetus for its elimination.
It should be noted that abortion is the action of aborting (ending, disappearing before the natural term, failing, failing). The concept, which derives from the Latin abortus , is usually used to name the cessation of pregnancy , whether due to natural causes or intentionally caused.
Induced abortion can be carried out surgically or chemically and can have serious physical and psychological consequences for the woman . Most legislation prohibits induced abortion due to its ethical, moral, religious and social implications. While supporters of legal abortion speak of women's freedom, opponents point out that abortion is the murder of an unborn child. It should be noted that, beyond what is established by law , induced abortions are practiced throughout the world under various conditions.
Drug induced abortion
Among the procedures to carry out induced abortion is the use of a combination of certain drugs .
Whoever carries out this action must know that it is identified not only because it does not require the use of anesthesia or carrying out any type of surgical intervention but also because it results in heavy bleeding on the part of the woman. All this without overlooking the fact that although it is usually effective, it may require the need for a doctor to finally act.
surgical intervention
On the other hand, we would have to refer to the fact that there is also an induced abortion through an operation in the operating room .
There are various methods, in turn, to carry it out, such as aspiration or dilation and subsequent curettage .
Induced abortion can be treated in different ways depending on the legislation.
The risks and consequences of induced abortion
Whatever the option chosen to carry out an abortion of this type in question, what is undeniable is that there are an important and serious series of consequences and risks.
Specifically, among the most significant would be subsequent very complicated births, the appearance of breast cancer, severe damage to what would be the fallopian tubes, or even anxiety and stress. Hence precisely why, in these latter cases, the woman in question needs to undergo psychological treatment to overcome this ordeal.
The natural causes
Abortion due to natural causes , for its part, is known as natural abortion or spontaneous abortion . This is the loss of the embryo or fetus that occurs before the twentieth week of pregnancy. After this date, there is talk of premature birth .
Spontaneous abortion can be classified as retained (the body does not eliminate any products of pregnancy), incomplete (some products are eliminated) or complete (all of the products of pregnancy are eliminated).
Among the causes of spontaneous abortion, the most common are congenital anomalies of the fetus, abnormalities of the reproductive tract, and systemic or infectious diseases of the mother .
