The statistics are sad: In the last five years, the birth rate in Ukraine increased by 4-6%, but abortion in 1, 2 times the number of births. In Ukraine up to 60% of newborn deaths - effects of abortion. 50% of abortions are done by women from 20 to 30 years. That is, abortion remains the most common method of contraception".What are the sources of this, we can say that national phenomenon - a topic for another conversation. And now let us turn to the past...
A little history
In Ancient Greece and Rome the life of the fetus by the law was not guarded. Abortion is not punishable. It was punished only in cases when it was made for selfish purposes or for other low motives. At that time, for the production of abortion used drugs ergot - plants, causing spastic contractions of uterine muscles and expulsion of the fetus. This method does not always provoke a miscarriage and had serious side effects. Later, when the Roman Empire began to need to increase the number of slaves and soldiers to capture foreign lands - women and individuals who have contributed to the abortion, began to severely punish.
According to Christian doctrine, the fetus from the moment of conception has a soul, but because the killing it in the womb is a big sin, burdened by the fact that the child, deprived of the possibility to be born, deprived and the grace of baptism. So in the middle ages abortion was classified as a serious crime, similar to the murder of a relative. Under the influence of the Church in the sixteenth century almost all European countries (England, Germany, France) the abortion was punishable by the death penalty, which was later replaced by hard labour and imprisonment. And it concerned not only the doctor but the patient. Such a situation existed in many countries up to the 1st floor. The twentieth century In England, abortion was permitted for medical reasons, and in case of pregnancy after rape.
Establishing the fact of pregnancy
Pregnancy or delay?
I think it is needless to remind that the Holy woman's job is to keep track of your monthly cycle. At the slightest uncertainty that you are now ready to store, carry and give birth to a child, in the first days of menstruation - run to the doctor. Pregnancy of a teenage girl, which at present is not such a rarity that it is rarely detected before the notorious three months: it happens that the girl has no established regular monthly or she is still not used to the calendar, as do adult women. In the hope that all will come" or "dissolve" is not justified.
Of course, if you are not pregnant, things will get better by itself. And if you still pregnant? The later you decide to have an abortion, the greater the likelihood of complications. The fact that most non-surgical methods of pregnancy termination is only effective in the early stages, when the delay of a few days. But ladies, unfortunately, in this situation most often "wait for the sea weather"...
How to establish the fact of pregnancy?
Delay menstruation is not necessarily a pregnancy. Nervous tension, insomnia, weight loss (whether simply malnutrition or the use of tablets for weight loss) have the right effect on your cycle. By the way, even the most healthy women during weight reduction to minimum will cause interruptions in the month, and then they will stop. The nature is arranged so that in critical situations on a global scale (wars, revolutions), which are necessarily accompanied by stress and hunger, women and blood is not lost, and are not pregnant and did not give birth.
Always will do an ultrasound?
The only reliable way of establishing pregnancy is ultrasound investigation (USI). Ultrasound is one of the most reliable methods of diagnosis. However, in the first weeks of delay, he is not able reliably to "consider" the pregnancy, and the time is running.
The establishment of a pregnancy hormone level
"Test strip". This is the most simple of means of rapid diagnosis of pregnancy can be bought in any chemist shop. The principle of such a diagnosis is simple - during pregnancy, from the first days after conception, there is a change in hormone levels in the blood of women. The fertilized egg (future baby), produces hormones, which enter the bloodstream and from there into the urine, for determining the level of one of these hormones (human chorionic gonadotropin) and based the test.
Tip - buy a test in the evening and apply in the morning: in the morning portion of urine concentration of the hormone is much higher than during the day.
Laboratory analyses. More complex methods for the determination of pregnancy based on the measurement of hormone levels in a woman's body laboratory method. You pass analysis: blood from a vein or urine, and after some time get the result. In this case, usually determine the level of other, more specific hormone - USSR beta-globulin, which gives more reliable information about the timing of possible pregnancy.
Laboratory method is much more reliable, though, and takes more time.
So, pregnancy is installed
Save this pregnancy you for any reason are not going. What must first tell you a good doctor?
First, that all sorts of artisanal methods, like sitting in a hot tub with a glass of vodka, is only effective if no pregnancy actually was not. Conclusion: never try to get rid of pregnancy themselves!
Secondly, that any, even competently performed the abortion, may entail negative consequences for the female body:
as a result of abortion, 12% of women disturbed menstrual cycle, possible bleeding between menstruation, parous women after abortion menstrual cycle can recover in 3-4 months; in antenatal restore all functions may be delayed for up to six months or more;
- abortion is the most common cause of gynecological diseases, after an abortion they develop every fifth woman;
abortion disrupts the endocrine and nervous systems, lowers the body's resistance;
a woman subconsciously perceive abortion as violence against one's own body is psychological stress, which can lead to changes in the psyche;
like any other surgery, abortion can cause a number of complications of varying severity.
Thirdly, if all these arguments you're not convinced and you still decided on an abortion doctor should tell you how to act in order to reduce the effects of abortion to a minimum. And he will advise you about the following:
- Inform about pregnancy the father of the unborn child and together decide.
- Make abortion as early as possible (it is safer to terminate the pregnancy on term of up to 6 weeks). Generally when you first suspected the occurrence of an unplanned pregnancy (delay period) should immediately consult a gynecologist. Don't delay - roads every day.
Depending on your situation, select the most safe method of abortion.
What method is right for you, tell the doctor, the purpose of this article is to introduce the woman with all the possibilities of modern medicine, who and once again (alas, often not more! ) warn: defining abortion method, you only choose the least of several evils; the choice of the person, really health conscious, is the choice of contraception!
Non-surgical abortion methods
Homeopathy Efficiency is not more than 20%.
Acupuncture Efficiency up to 40% in small (10-15 days) delay and depends on the skills of the interpreter.
Magnetic induction ("magnetic cap") Method based on an artificial disruption of normal transmission of electrical impulses from the uterus to the brain, causing contractile activity of the uterus and provoking a miscarriage. Efficiency of 50% at a delay of no more than 3-5 days, applies only in the absence of contraindications.
Medical abortion ("French pill") are Blocked by specific receptors of the uterus, which is responsible for the development and maintenance of pregnancy, resulting in the expulsion of the ovum. The efficiency of 90-95% with a delay of up to 42 days.
Surgical abortion methods
The vacuum advance is to aspirate
("mini-abortion) pregnancy up to 4-5 weeks.
Medical abortion Instrumental removal of the ovum with simultaneous scraping of the uterine cavity. On pregnancy up to 12 weeks.
"Late abortion" In the fetal bladder is introduced solutions that cause tribal activities. In terms of more than 12 weeks of pregnancy for special reasons.
Small cesarean section Abortion on a long term medical condition.
Good abortion does not happen
Abortion is usually divided into early (up to 12 weeks of gestation) and late (12 to 28 weeks), running for special reasons. In practice, most commonly used abortion in early pregnancy. There is also such a thing as a mini-abortion, it is made in the early period (from 12 to 25 days delay).
Abortion methods
Non-surgical methods of abortion have a huge advantage compared to traditional abortion as minimize possible complications. No penetration of instruments into the uterus, so there are no tears, rips, or any other mechanical injury. No inflammatory complications and, finally, there are no complications associated with anesthesia. Among the disadvantages are the presence of a number of contraindications and sharp decrease in efficiency with increasing gestational age.
But if the deadline is missed, the stock remains a classic abortion. Choosing a clinic for the production of this operation, it is important to pay attention to the following circumstances: first of all, the clinic must be licensed, and the doctor's certificate. Operation must be done under General anesthesia (narcosis). To do it, of course, be under sterile conditions. It is highly desirable also after an abortion to undergo a course of antibiotic treatment to prevent infection.
