Video of the entire process of an abortion procedure
Generally, "induced abortion" refers to the artificial removal of the gestational sac from the uterus. Surgical methods include vacuum aspiration and dilation and curettage (D&C). Taking D&C as an example, the specific procedure is as follows:
1. The patient is placed in the lithotomy position. The external genitalia and vaginal area are routinely disinfected, and a sterile drape is applied.
2. A bimanual examination is performed to determine the position and size of the uterus.
3. A vaginal speculum is used to dilate the vagina. The vagina and cervix are disinfected again, and the anterior lip of the cervix is grasped with a cervical clamp.
4. An oval forceps is used to rupture the amniotic sac, allowing amniotic fluid to drain slowly.
5. The oval forceps is then used to grasp placental and fetal tissues, while an appropriate suction catheter is inserted into the uterine cavity for evacuation.
6. Next, a curette is used to scrape the uterine cavity clean, and the depth of the uterine cavity is measured again.
7. After confirming no abnormalities, the procedure is completed.
This procedure may cause some physical trauma. It is recommended to undergo the procedure at a正规 medical institution under the guidance of a qualified physician to minimize surgical risks. After the procedure, pay attention to nutritional intake and avoid strenuous activities to promote recovery.
