Doctors distinguish several methods of artificial termination of pregnancy:
• medication;
• vacuum aspiration;
• saline abortion;
• surgical intervention: curettage with a curette, small caesarean section, etc.
The choice of method depends on a number of factors, including the duration of pregnancy (up to 5-7 weeks, up to 12 weeks, at a later time), the age and health of the woman. Here it is important to contact a gynecologist as soon as possible and discuss the situation with him.
