Vacuum abortion is a gentle method, but more traumatic than a pill.
The intervention is performed without opening the cervix, a special vacuum aspirator is used, which minimizes the number of possible complications. The doctor inserts a special probe into the uterine cavity, and with the help of a pump, the fetal egg is sucked out. Vacuum aspiration is performed without general anesthesia.
Such an abortion is carried out before 8 weeks of pregnancy, it has the following side effects:
A woman can return to normal life in a couple of hours, but within a few days, discharge resembling menstruation is possible. This is considered a variant of the norm, since hormonal changes occur in the body after the removal of the fetal egg.
Contraindications - infectious and inflammatory diseases of the genital organs in acute or chronic form, unconfirmed uterine pregnancy.
