Safe Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) in Hyderabad

The benefits of a medical abortion are:

• Perform a pelvic exam.
• Look for signs of infection
• Discuss how much bleeding you had, when it stopped, the color and if there were clots.
• Check your uterus with an ultrasound.
• Talk about contraceptives to avoid future pregnancies, if you choose to do so.

The amount of time it takes to recover from a medical abortion will vary. In some cases, you may be resuming normal activities within a day or two. Avoid any activities that cause you pain. You will likely have a range of emotions — relief, sadness, stress or guilt. These feelings are common and expected. It may be helpful to speak with a mental health professional, such as a counselor or therapist, about how you are feeling. Your healthcare provider may be able to give you recommendations on mental health professionals who can help you.

The amount of bleeding to expect depends on the person and how far along you were in pregnancy. Heavier bleeding is expected for one to two days. Bleeding will start to subside gradually over the course of two to three weeks. Healthcare providers may recommend sanitary pads until the bleeding stops. This helps you see the volume of blood and the clots more easily. Your risk for infection increases with the use of tampons during this time.

You should wait at least two to three weeks to have sex after a medical abortion. This is to prevent infection in the vagina. You should not insert anything into your vagina during this time, including tampons.

You will be able to get pregnant once ovulation has occurred again. Your normal menstruation cycle should return within four to six weeks after a medical abortion. Your first period may be slightly irregular due to hormonal changes from the procedure. Medical abortion should not affect future pregnancies unless there were complications.
