El aborto por aspiración y el aborto D&E son los dos tipos de procedimientos clínicos de aborto más comunes en Wyoming.
Suction Aspiration Abortion
A suction aspiration abortion procedure can be performed anytime after a pregnancy has been confirmed and up to 13 weeks after a woman’s last menstrual period. It is the most common early surgical abortion method, also known as a D&C abortion.
This procedure begins by inserting a long, thin tube into the uterus. The fetus is suctioned out with a large syringe attached to the end of the tube. A loop-shaped knife is utilized to sweep the uterus of all fetal remains.
Dilation and Evacuation (D&E)
A D&E abortion is typically performed 13 weeks or more after a woman’s last known period (LMP). It is the most common second-trimester surgical abortion method. Local anesthesia or sedation is commonly utilized.
At 13-24 weeks, the fetus is too large to be broken up by suction alone and must be removed with forceps and other instruments. The provider will first dilate the cervix by inserting laminaria sticks (thin rods made of sterilized seaweed) a few days before the procedure. When the cervix is ready, the fetus’ skull will be crushed, and its body will be dismembered and removed through forceps, suction, and a sharp tool known as a curette. Following the procedure, the patient may be given medication to contract the uterus and reduce bleeding.
Recovery After a Surgical Abortion
Following a surgical abortion, an ultrasound may be used to confirm that all the fetal parts have been removed. The patient is often given medication to contract the uterus and reduce bleeding.
Surgical Abortion Side Effects and Risks
There are risks to any surgery. The majority of abortion procedures are called blind procedures, which means the doctor or medical professional is relying on surgical instruments and cannot see inside the uterus.
Side effects can include but are not limited to:
-
Heavy bleeding
-
Nausea
-
Vomiting
-
Cramping
-
Fever
-
Blood clots
-
Allergic reactions to the anesthesia
-
Abdominal pain
-
Infection
-
Emotional side effects
-
Damage to the womb or cervix
-
Perforation of the uterus
-
Sepsis
-
Death
Occasionally, some women need another procedure to remove parts of the fetus or pregnancy that have stayed in the womb.
