What is the process of abortion like?

The process of abortion involves preparation before the procedure, intraoperative procedures, and postoperative care. Before surgery, the patient must empty her bladder. Then she lies down on the operating table. The nurse performs intravenous cannulation, starts an IV infusion, prepares emergency supplies, and ensures all surgical equipment is ready. The doctor conducts a gynecological examination, cleanses the external genitalia and vagina, and lays sterile drapes. After completing these steps, the surgical procedure begins. First, the cervix is dilated to expand the uterine opening. Following cervical dilation, a suction catheter is used to remove the contents of the uterus, including embryonic tissue and decidua. Third, after the procedure, the doctor examines the removed decidua and endometrial tissue to determine whether they correspond to the expected gestational age, which helps confirm the success of the procedure.
