What Should I Know First? 

When considering any medical procedure, including abortion, it’s essential to understand the various factors involved. Here are some key things to consider:

• Your options – What choices are available to you based on your pregnancy status and health?
• Associated risks – Learn about the risks and potential complications involved in different abortion methods.
• Your health history – Certain medical conditions or treatments can affect your options.
• The status of your pregnancy – Understand how far along you are, as this may affect the type of procedure.
• Current medications and treatments – Some medications may need to be adjusted or stopped before the procedure.

As noted by the Mayo Clinic, not all types of abortions are recommended for women with certain conditions. It’s critical to discuss your health history with a professional to ensure your well-being is prioritized.

What Types of Abortions Are there? 

There are two main types of abortions: 

• Medical 
• Surgical 

Medical abortions use a medication regimen to terminate a pregnancy. Surgical abortion uses invasive surgical techniques to remove pregnancy tissue from the uterus manually. 

Usually, the type of procedure chosen can depend on gestational age, health history, and other medical factors. Receiving the proper counseling and education to make an informed decision is important for your health and to move forward confidently.
