Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy. It can be induced (intentional) or spontaneous (miscarriage). Induced abortions are often performed for various reasons, including medical necessity, personal choice, or social circumstances.
Types of Abortion
- Medication Abortion: This involves taking a combination of medications to induce a miscarriage. It’s often used in early pregnancies.
- Surgical Abortion: This procedure is performed by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting. There are several types, including aspiration abortion and dilation and curettage (D&C).
