Medical Abortion
Terminating of pregnancy in early weeks of gestation. Possible, if ultrasound confirmed uterine, non-ectopic pregnancy and accurate pregnancy dating is present.
Pharmaceutical abortion is indicated in cases of:
-
patient’s choice and no contraindications for the procedure;
-
very early gestation dates (up to 7weeks);
-
severe obesity (BMI greater than 30) with no other cardiovascular risk factors;
-
presence of fibroid uterus or uterine malformation.
Surgical abortion may be preferred:
-
if there are contraindications for medical abortion;
-
if simultaneous IUD insertion is requested;
-
if there is no way of follow-up (patient leaving the country or a very heavy working schedule)
