About Mid trimester abortion with Dilatation and Curretage

A mid-trimester abortion with dilatation and curettage (D&C) is a surgical procedure performed by an obstetrician-gynecologist to terminate a pregnancy typically between 13 and 24 weeks of gestation. The procedure involves dilating (opening) the cervix and using a curette, a surgical instrument, to gently remove the pregnancy tissue from the lining of the uterus. It is considered a safe and effective method for second-trimester pregnancy termination, often used when medication-based methods are not suitable or have failed. The procedure is usually performed under sedation or general anesthesia in a hospital or surgical center to ensure patient comfort and safety. It is a critical option for managing fetal anomalies, maternal health risks, or other serious medical indications.
