Pregnancy is certainly the most cherished phase of a woman’s life. Definitely women look forward to being pregnant and become the originators of life. People plan the birth of their children keeping various factors in mind like their financial position. But, there are also instances of unplanned pregnancy which result due to insufficient family planning measures and inappropriate levels of precautions taken to avoid pregnancy while doing intercourse and in the next 24-72 hours of intercourse. When the news of unplanned pregnancy is received, there is more gloom and tension on face rather than the happiness. It is no longer a matter of your willingness to be pregnant but more about your ability to support the child. It is pertinent that you assess the situation in its entirety and then make a considered decision. If you arrive at a decision that the abortion cannot be wished away, then it is time to consult the best doctor to guide you through this process.

Medically Terminated Pregnancy (MTP), as abortion is commonly called in medical parlance, is not an easy option. The role of the doctor is very crucial at this stage. The competent surgeon needs to be well experienced since there are good chances that the uterus is either cleaned too much or too little. If it is cleaned less then there might be more procedures required. If it is cleaned more, then there is a chance that the uterus walls get damaged leading to future fertility issues. Some minor damage to uterus walls can heal by itself. Since the MTP is done by way of suction procedures, there is a danger that other organs or intestines are also pulled along. So, an experienced doctor will be able to do just the right thing at right time in correct amount. Equally important is your cooperation and positive attitude.

There is a definite risk, one in a thousand cases, that there might be life time infertility. There is a danger of pregnancy complications as well. Apart from the health hazards, there is lot of emotional stress and mental disturbance. It is important that you do not lose control over your own self. You need to think pragmatically with the hope that you can see through this phase with unmatched determination and grit. Do not be paranoid since there are hundreds of thousands of pregnancy terminations taking place globally with excellent results enabling women to lead a happier future life.
