Complete Abortion Handbook

(Part 1) For some people, understanding beforehand can actively reduce anxiety. The more they know, the more "confident they feel" and they can effectively control their emotions. I happen to be in this category, so before the operation I really want to know what will happen, what the doctor will do, and what will be used to ensure the success of the operation; while for other people, knowing more may make them more nervous, because All of these will happen to you. If you are like this, (for example, you are very nervous when you see the instruments when you go to the dentist), then I suggest you skip this article and go directly to the surgery (Part 2) . pregnancy test for miscarriage "Am I pregnant?" The first signal must be your menstruation. Don't believe the common vomiting, fainting, etc. situations in movies or novels. The most important thing to pay attention to is whether your menstruation does not arrive when it is due. If you have had active sexual intercourse recently and your period has not come for more than a week, please go to the drugstore to buy a pregnancy test. Don't take it for granted that it's just irregular periods. The sooner you know you're pregnant, the better for you. The most common pregnancy tester is the length of a toothbrush and looks a bit like a thermometer. The name is: pregnancyTEST KIT, which costs about ten yuan. This type of pregnancy test usually uses a urine test. Pull out the SMall cap of the pregnancy tester. There is a SMall stick about the size of a toothpick inside, which is a SMall stick for urine absorption and sampling. Urine on the SMall stick. Be careful not to pee on the test window, and do not immerse the SMall stick in any liquid. (especially toilet water) and then close the cap. Flat-laying pregnancy tests usually have two SMall holes in the test window, one large and one SMall. A horizontal line will slowly appear in the SMall round hole. The kind I bought is a red line. This only means that urine has been collected and the test is in progress. If there is no red line, it means that the urine has not dripped sufficiently onto the stick, and the test has failed and needs to be repeated. (A pregnancy tester can only be used once and cannot be reused.) In the other large round hole, a blue line may appear, or not. If a blue line appears, it means positive and you are pregnant; if not, it means you are pregnant. negative, you are not pregnant. Wait three to ten minutes. If not, it can be considered a "false alarm." If the blue line appears, it usually appears very quickly, almost within a minute, and appears at the same time as the red line. Even if the blue line is dotted, it's likely pregnancy. Urine tests are very accurate. If you see a blue line, don't think it's a mistake. 99% of the time it's because you are indeed pregnant. The Decision to Abort Knowing that you are pregnant for the first time is a very complicated emotion (of course, the planned pregnancy is mainly a feeling of joy, we are talking about accidental pregancy here). Everyone is like this. Although you may be alone, and although you may have many thoughts running through your mind at once, you must remember that you are not alone and helpless. You are not the only one responsible for the biggest secret in the world. Your reaction It’s not special, don’t scare yourself and try not to cry. If you can think about who to discuss your pregnancy with, you've already passed the hardest part. Indeed, there are many people to talk about. Your mom, your boyfriend/husband, your best female friend, your HomeDr. Ting, your netizen... When you talk about it, you are actually helping yourself decide whether to have an abortion or give birth to the child. This kind of consideration is very necessary. Being emotional cannot solve the problem, and the solution may change. It is indeed difficult to decide whether to live or not, but you must think about it and don't escape. If you don’t want to tell anyone, you can check the yellow pages or go online to find the local abortion help line. Their conversations are confidential and they are more experienced. There are several situations that are more suitable for abortion: 1. If you are taking Birth Control Pills, you may have missed one or taken it a little late, but you have not stopped taking Birth Control Pills. Children conceived in this situation may be deformed. Because the drug has residual reactions, it is best to have an abortion. 2. You are particularly afraid of miscarriage and pain. It would be better to have an abortion. Because the pain of childbirth is twice as painful as that of miscarriage. In early pregnancy, your uterus will not change its shape. In late pregnancy, your spine will bend, your heart will deviate from its original position, your internal organs will be squeezed, and your breasts will enlarge. , your entire body has to adjust to accommodate one more baby, and the contractions during labor often last more than ten hours. Compared with these changes and discomfort, miscarriage is indeed mild. Putting off having a baby until you have to avoid having a miscarriage is a bad decision. 3． Your financial situation or boyfriend is extremely unsupportive. Being a single mother is very hard. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it does require a lot of responsibility. 4. The so-called alternative to not having an abortion is to be born and adopted by someone else. At this time, this child is a living, complete person with the ability to think of his own (not yet in your womb). If you think you can afford to have such a child and can convince yourself that she does not need to know the birth mother, maybe you I would like this alternative, I personally would rather know for sure that my child is dead than be in some part of the world that I don't understand and don't know if he or she is okay. No matter what your decision is, don't worry. First, you have a choice. Second, you have carefully considered all other options. We can only choose the best possibility among the less good possibilities. Such a mother is not derelict in her duty. . Abortion Appointment When you call the abortion clinic, there is one thing you might not expect. The day you make your appointment is your surgery day, and you only have to go once. Therefore, before making a call, it is best to learn about the risks of miscarriage, the principles of the surgery, and the doctor's experience. The risk of miscarriage mainly has two aspects, one is physical and the other is mental. The main possible adverse effects of miscarriage on the body include: Hemorrhage Post-operative bleeding Generally, there will be discharge of blood or blood clots after surgery. Some people may not bleed much. These are normal. If you bleed and need to change four or five sanitary napkins within an hour, or you can feel the blood dripping, it is hemorrhage, and you need to call an emergency call immediately. Sometimes you may need another hemostatic surgery. Infection of the uterus after abortion surgery comparisonsensitive. Be even more careful if you have ever had vaginitis, gonorrhea or other diarrhea. The main symptom of diarrhea is sharp lower abdominal pain, accompanied by fever. Generally, the doctor will prescribe antibiotics for you after surgery. Perforation is caused by the doctor using improper force during examination or surgery, causing the uterus to perforate. If it occurs, major surgery is required to repair it, which may cause infertility in the future. Continued pregnancy Abortion is incomplete and part of the fetus may still remain or be transferred to the fallopian tube (fallopian tube) to continue development. This is very dangerous and may cause heavy bleeding in the future. Complications with anesthesia Complications caused by sensitivity to anesthesia Be careful if you know you are allergic to anesthesia, or if you have a relative with a history of allergy to anesthesia. This can lead to death. These adverse consequences can seem terrifying. I know, when I first saw these possible consequences, my immediate reaction was not to do anything. But think about it. Hemorrhage, diarrhea, and drug complications are not unique to miscarriage. These risks are also present in childbirth. In addition, it is very important to look at the statistics and see how likely it is to happen. In Canada, among all legal abortion surgeries, only one in 1,000 cases of heavy bleeding, discharge, uterine perforation and incomplete abortion occurs. About 7 in 1,000 abortion cases suffer from pregnancy fear, which is relative frigidity. A total of 1.1% of people have far more negative reactions than positive reactions after miscarriage. The other aspect is mental torture. If you go to a clinic, after the necessary ID check, there is usually a questionnaire. This form will ask you what your main emotions were after you found out you were pregnant and when you decided to have an abortion. 99% of people said grief, sadness, and loss. 92 % of people felt depressed, guilty, and angry, while 89% expressed disappointment in sexual relationships, 81% cried constantly, and 65% had thoughts of suicide. Therefore, no matter how violent your reaction is, statistically speaking, you are most likely to fall in the middle of the shell curve. In other words, most people who have had similar experiences have similar experiences to you, and you are not the unluckiest person in the world. of that. I have to explain something here, maybe because we are from China, and China’s special national conditions have made Chinese women have the highest abortion rate in the world for a long time. Maybe you know that your friends, your mother, and your grandma have all had abortions. The experience was even wanted to be shed but not shed. This may be tragic for Chinese women in general, but it may be a good thing for you personally. You are not like some foreign women who have greater pressure from religion, Family, community, etc. The most ridiculous sentence I heard in the clinic was: “Don’t worry. All Chinese women are the best patients.” Some of the factors that cause emotional depression can be worked out. If you want to abort your first child, likeme, IThe biggest stress is whether it will affect future fertility, and if you miscarry in the first trimester or within 12 weeks, the chance of miscarriage is very SMall. Habitual abortion is a condition that occurs when the uterus can no longer bear the pressure of the placenta and pregnancy after multiple abortion surgeries. Unless perforation occurs during the first abortion surgery, it is unlikely that fertility will be lost. After understanding the general risks of surgery, you may have new changes in your decision to have an abortion. If you finally decide to call and make an appointment, you need to take a look at the local abortion clinic now and choose a more experienced doctor. An important factor when choosing a physician and deciding to have an abortion is how many weeks into your pregnancy you are. The way I guess is to add two weeks to the last normal menstrual period. If it is within twelve weeks, which is the first trimester I mentioned earlier, then there is less to worry about, because at this time the baby It is only three inches long and weighs about the same as two quarters. It has no gender, no five human senses, and no pain, but its hands and feet are vaguely visible, it has eyes, and its tail has basically disappeared. Previous surgeries were relatively safer and did not require artificial dilation of the uterus. If within twelve to twenty weeks, you may need uterine dilation to ensure the safety of the operation. At this time, the requirements for the doctor are higher. You can ask the doctor about his experience. Abortion after 20 weeks is quite dangerous and almost no hospital can perform it. Maybe we can only wait until the baby grows up to do induction, which is equivalent to a complete birth. When making an appointment, you can also ask about the prevention and treatment of bleeding and discharge. Even if the person who answers the phone is just a general caregiver, who may not even have a nursing license, but if she answers patiently, in detail, and is trustworthy, then the atmosphere of the entire clinic will be relatively good. Being considerate also shows that you have more experience. Although abortion surgery can also be done in the hospital, if you go to a specialized abortion clinic, there will be a comfort doctor to put you in a more relaxed emotional state before the surgery. General care is only for abortion patients and is more professional. Finally, if you are naturally nervous about a male doctor performing an abortion, you can find a clinic where all women are involved in care and surgery. The address and phone number of the Abortion clinic are in the first category of the Yellow Pages, or you can look it up on Yahoo! If you are in Toronto, there are only five abortion clinics in the Greater Toronto Area. The Morgentaler Clinic is probably the most famous because a radical anti-abortion organization once attacked this clinic, and the lawsuit filed by Dr. Morgentaler went all the way to the Supreme Court. In the end, he won the case and abortion was completely removed from the criminal law. Another Women’s Care Clinic, from doctors to nurses are all women, and appointments are made quickly, and appointments can usually be madeIt is useful for abortion patients who are close to twelve weeks of pregnancy if the surgery is within one week, but there are some fees, and other clinics are completely free. (Bottom) The most common method of artificial abortion is as follows: If you are more than 12 weeks pregnant or the fetus is found to be larger than three inches during ultrasound (ultrasound) examination, as mentioned earlier, in order to ensure the safety of the operation , and more importantly, in order to reduce damage to the uterus and not affect future fertility, you need to expand the uterus. To expand the uterus, SMall sticks similar to toothpicks are first inserted into the uterus. Unlike toothpicks, these sticks are not sharp and are made of dried seaweed. Dried seaweed has strong adsorption power. They will expand in the uterus, so that the volume of the uterus will increase and the uterine wall will become relatively thinner. These are things that your body can accommodate, because the natural expansion of the uterus will increase in the later stages of pregnancy. Far greater than the expansion at this time. A few hours after it’s called the laminaria tent was inserted, the actual surgery began. During the actual surgery, the nurse will inject anesthetic through the blood vessels on the back of your hand. This is only a local anesthetic. However, we mentioned earlier that one of the risks of surgery is an acute reaction caused by an allergy to anesthetics, so you may need to ask your parents whether you are absolutely immune to anesthetics. Then the doctor slowly and gently removes the seaweed rod. At this time, the uterus and Vagina are relatively open, suitable for surgery. Then the doctor slowly inserts a SMall tube, which is connected to an aspirator machine, which is very similar to the device used by dentists to remove saliva. When the aspirator is opened, the doctor completely absorbs the uterus in a short period of time. Because the fetal position has been seen with ultrasound in advance, the absorption should be very accurate and clean. Finally, the doctor uses a SMall round instrument (called a curette) to gently scrape the uterine wall to ensure that there is no remaining placenta or fetus and to prevent incomplete miscarriage. Although most introductions say that the abortion operation will not take more than ten minutes, this is a very safe statement. In fact, experienced doctors will not take more than three to four minutes to perform the above actions, or even less. There isn't a lot of feeling during aspiration or curettage (but there is sensation, partly due to the anesthetic), and the beginning of the vaginal dilation is probably the most uncomfortable. After the operation, you will go to a lounge to relax, with your back propped up in a semi-lying position. Another doctor will ask you how you feel and whether there is any sign of heavy bleeding. If not, the doctor will prescribe you medicine and explain the postoperative procedures. Things to note. Someone mentioned earlier that medical abortion can be used in early pregnancy. It is also a relatively common "early pregnancy" early abortion pill in China, called RU486. I will mention it here by the way. RU486 can terminate a pregnancy early in pregnancy, that is, seven weeks into pregnancy, and up to nine weeks into pregnancy. For the first seven weeks, the effective rate can reach 95.5%, and for the first nine weeks, the overall effectiveness can reach 88%. It is now available in China, France, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.is legal. The drug test has just been completed in the United States and a commercial license has not been obtained. In Canada, there is ongoing debate on whether to conduct a drug test for RU486, so it is not yet sold in pharmacies in the United States and Canada. Note that RU486 cannot be taken by oneself to complete the abortion. It will also have side effects and must be accompanied by other treatments and must have the consent of a doctor. Therefore, do not consider having a Chinese trustee buy it and have an abortion on your own. Never! Or go back to your country to see a doctor. For more information about RU486, you can check this

website: http://www2. cbctrust.com/cbctrust/RU４８６.96.html The above are all the principles of artificial abortion. If you decide to have an abortion, these are not the most important. The most important thing is what I will mention below, adjust your abortion by yourself. Emotions and cooperation with the doctor ensure the success of the operation. If you decide to have an abortion, you must remember that having an induced abortion is not the scariest thing in the world. What is worse than this is that the operation is unsuccessful or a major error occurs during the operation. So, all your fears, sadness, and guilt should be transformed into a desire to make the surgery a success, to create the best conditions for yourself and your next child under less favorable conditions. If you allow your emotions to control your reason, you may have greater lifelong regrets. What I want to talk about below are some details and countermeasures that may cause you psychological stress on the day of surgery. I hope it can be helpful. First, you need to remember that you are critical during the surgery. And your most critical coordination action is not to make any special movements. In other words, you must not move on the operating table, do not tighten the Vagina, and absolutely do not do any sudden lifting and turning, so that the operation can proceed SMoothly and quickly. of course, everyone will be nervous, and when they are nervous, people's instinctive reaction is to flinch and clamp. This is a natural protective reaction. However, in surgery, these reactions can really hurt you, so you must be controlled. Feel the emotion, force yourself to relax, relax your muscles and nerves as much as possible, and persist for three to four minutes. In fact, from the moment you walk into the clinic, there are many thoughtful considerations to help you gradually enter a state of relaxation. When it comes to the day of surgery, it is recommended that you bring a book that you usually like to read so that you can read it while waiting. Generally, there is light music in the clinic, and you can also close your eyes and listen to it. Don't think about sex or kids. It would be best if someone goes with you. Before the surgery, there will usually be a consultant who will tell you about abortion, and most of them will not be more detailed than what I have already written. But if you have any special requirements, you can ask her. For example, if you feel nervous, you can ask for some auxiliary drugs, one taken Orally and one taken bucally, both of which can relax the nerves. If you have special worries, such as having had gastroenteritis before, having a history of allergies to certain drugs, hoping to have children in the future, etc., you can ask for help.The doctor suggested. In addition, the comfort doctor may show you an instrument that is used to dilate the Vagina during surgery. It looks a bit like a nut cracker with a protruding duckbill-shaped tool. This thing looks scary, but it only has a duckbill. The SMall tabs go really deep into the Vagina. When the "duckbill" is opened, its diameter will not be larger than that of a slightly larger penis. It is used to assist the expansion of the Vagina. You can touch it to eliminate some fears. Don't forget that the tool is cold when you actually start the procedure, so you're most likely to move it when it's just touching your lower body. And movement is what doctors least want to see. Because you are nervous, she will be more nervous than you. She doesn't know how you will move, and she has instruments in her hands, so she has to bear the medical risk. So, remember: at the beginning of the operation, it may cool down a bit, and then the Vagina will expand unconsciously. Different from sexual intercourse, because of the stimulating effect, sexual intercourse expands unconsciously, and it feels hot. At this time, you want to contract. So, you must remember not to contract naturally or move. This is actually the most difficult part. . As long as you don't make sudden movements during dilation, the remaining suction and curettage will be easier to adapt to. The doctor will also measure your blood pressure and take a blood sample from your fingertips for blood type testing. These are all to prevent possible major bleeding and emergency treatment. Don't be nervous. When changing clothes, most abortion clinics allow you to wear your own pajamas or long T-shirt. You can prepare the most Homely clothes. You must wear socks, and you can walk without shoes. If you are myopic, do not wear glasses or contact lenses into the operating room. These will give your nerves the illusion of going to sleep and help you relax. The operating table is the size of an ordinary single bed. The only special thing is that it has two stirrup-like foot pads. You need to put your feet or knees on them so that your lower body will open naturally. If you have had routine gynecological examinations before, you may be familiar with this posture. If not, you can practice it at Home. Bend your legs and naturally open them to an obtuse angle slightly larger than 90 degrees. Press your pelvis as low as possible. Take a deep breath and stay in this position without moving for about five minutes. This will make it easier to adapt during the actual surgery. The nurse will then apply some cool ointment on your belly. This is for ultrasound testing, which can accurately locate the fetus. Even though you can see the screen, trust me, you can't tell it's the fetus at all. I had read some information before the operation, and I had a vivid memory of the pictures of how old the fetus should be a few weeks ago. Even so, I couldn't match the white shadow on the screen to the fetus, and I couldn't tell which side was the head. In short, Maybe it was better not to look, but for me, it was the only chance I had to see the baby, so I looked anyway. The nurse will then inject you with anesthesia and may also give you an ether mask, which is a plastic mask often seen in emergency rooms that covers your nose, and ether gas is sprayed out to help you relax. The advantage of having this cover is that you can talk or sing and make sounds. Don’t laugh, I’ve been singing, and I think singing is very effective. I suggest you think of a few songs to sing, too.of course, I didn’t want to sing a love song. What I sang was "Young Pioneers Team song", so I also knew that the entire operation time was about the same as singing a team song, which is about three minutes. The first thing your Vagina feels is the doctor's hands, because she wants to check the tightness of your Vagina. Then, as mentioned earlier, it will cool down a little and don't move. Then you can basically only feel something inside, but no The pain is a bit unnatural, so don't move. You can look at the hanging pictures, close your eyes and concentrate on singing without thinking about anything else. Then, the operation is over. Another detail when getting off the operating table is to get off from the side of the bed, not from the front, because from the front you may inadvertently catch a glimpse of the aspirator or its contents. Believe me, you just don’twanna see it. Then you may feel lightheaded and lightheaded, which is what those drugs are doing. Some people have vomiting reactions. These are all problems with the medicine and do not mean that the operation is unsuccessful. When you rest in the operating room, the nurse will cover you with a blanket. From this time on, pay attention to keeping your waist warm. As your emotional sanity slowly begins to return, you may feel a great sense of relief that the problems that have been weighing on you for many days are now like a big stone removed. This sense of relief is the biggest positive reaction after abortion surgery, with more than 85% of people saying it made them feel they had made the right decision and enabled them to move. Remember this positive reaction, because in the next article, I will mention postoperative care and common negative reactions. I hope you can get through this disaster SMoothly. After a miscarriage you should get at least four minutes of Oral medication after surgery. One is TYLENOL, which is a painkiller. After the operation, you may feel spaSModic pain, which is very similar to the feeling of dySMenorrhea. If it is severe, take this medicine; the second is antibiotics (antibiotics), which prevents diarrhea, as mentioned earlier; the third is Gravol, This is because some people will vomit after surgery. If you feel nauseous or dizzy, you can take this medicine. This medicine does not require a doctor’s prescription and is very cheap. It is recommended that you buy it as a backup. The fourth is Birth Control Pills (contraceptive pills). ), you should take it soon after surgery, because it mainly regulates hormones, stimulates the ovaries, and promotes continued ovulation, so that you can resume normal menstruation in about a month. However, please note that since Birth Control Pills are taken at the same time as antibiotics, the contraceptive effect of Birth Control Pills will be offset, so sexual intercourse is not allowed for at least two weeks after surgery. In the clinic, you may hear that someone got pregnant right after the surgery. She was really unlucky, or she had too many sexual demands. You are not allowed to drive after surgery. I forgot to remind you earlier that you need to arrange a rental or someone to take you Home on the day of surgery. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "miscarriage", whether artificial or natural, has symptoms of Qi damage and blood loss, manifesting as low back pain, inability to exert force, and physical weakness. Therefore, the nutritional supplements of traditional Chinese medicine are mainly based on nourishing blood and qi. That is to say, you should eat more dates to nourish blood, drink chicken soup, royal essence, and chicken essence.Too much raw and cold food, be careful not to ventilate the room continuously, and keep warm, otherwise you may suffer from chronic back pain, rheumatiSM and other problems. Mental recovery after surgery is also very important. For a long time, we have thought that good health means that there are no physical problems. In fact, many diseases also involve mental stimulation, and prevention and treatment should be carefully adjusted. The most common negative mental reaction after abortion is called flash back, also known as flashback, which is the strong recall of the past during pregnancy due to scenes or special verbal stimulation. In more serious cases, role dislocation will occur, and some people will suddenly think that Already have a child who behaves very much like his mother, such as holding a pillow as a baby, having auditory hallucinations at night, and believing there is a baby crying. These mental traumas may be lifelong. If you know that a woman of your mother's generation has had a miscarriage, you may have heard her sigh: "If only... I was this old now." This is a typical recollection. Especially women who are infertile due to various reasons after miscarriage are prone to be deeply hurt by the memories. Another kind of misalignment is to mistakenly think that you are that child. Some people will feel that they are being killed inexplicably in their dreams and run away, but the person closest to them becomes the most terrifying person, etc. When there is a role misalignment, Family members, partners Soothing is paramount, and many reactions will last until you have your next healthy baby. In addition, if you feel very depressed and often have dislocations or flashbacks, you should consider seeing a psychiatrist. The last common negative reaction after an abortion is frigidity. This is due to the mental stimulation before and after the abortion or the fear of pregnancy left over from the strong resistance during the operation. The pain of losing a child may make her regard sexual behavior or sexual partners as the culprit, or become the object of venting, and she cannot afford it at all. sexual interest. At this time, the man must not force her, otherwise she will completely become sexually frigid and may not recover. With considerate care, patient waiting, and joint responsibility to get through women's emotional fluctuations, usually a woman's desire for sexual intercourse will slowly recover after one month to six months, and may even become stronger, because her subconscious desire to have children is stronger than before. More intense. Although I hope this article will not be reprinted in the preface, it seems that it has been circulated outside this edition. So I need to say that this article talks about five aspects of pregnancy testing, decision-making, appointment, surgery and postoperative operations. , these five aspects are very important to pregnant women, not just the few minutes of the operation that she needs to understand. If you really care about your children or your partner, please merge the full text together and repost it or print it out for her reference. In addition, if you are a man and find that your female partner is pregnant, please do not force her to make any decision she does not want to make. You do not have the right to do so, otherwise she is likely to leave a psychological shadow that she will not be able to get rid of for the rest of her life. Abortion is a woman's decision, please respect this until the technology has invented a substitute for the uterus. Finally, to make it easier for you to talk to a doctor abroad or call an abortion hotline, here are some commonly used English words and translations. I won’t repeat what is already in the article. The fetus and placenta before seven weeks of embryo, early fetal fetus after seven weeks of fetus. The main difference with embryo is that the former still has a fertilized egg as its basic characteristic, while the latter has developed into a human-shaped fetus. Cramp is an abdominal cramp, especially used to describe cramping pain during menstrual cramps. clot blood clot conception pregnancy ovary ovary uterus uterus cervix cervix Vagina sexualdys function frigidity hallucination hallucination diagnosis diagnosis, detection of contraceptive contraceptive pills, contraceptive measures mortality mortality suction suction scraping dilation expansion, expansion saline saline, used in twenty A few weeks after the miscarriage, laceration breaks the hormonal hormones during labor (full text completed)
