About Mid trimester abortion without Dilatation and Curretage

A mid-trimester abortion without dilatation and curettage (D&C) is a medical procedure typically performed between 13 and 24 weeks of gestation. This method, often called a medical or induction abortion, uses medications to induce labor and the delivery of the fetus and placenta, avoiding surgical instrumentation of the uterus. It is a critical option for managing severe fetal anomalies, maternal health risks, or other complex situations. Performed under the supervision of an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist in a hospital setting, the procedure prioritizes patient safety, comfort, and comprehensive post-procedure care. It is a significant medical intervention that requires detailed counseling and support.
