MTP

Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP), commonly referred to as an abortion, is a procedure used to end a pregnancy. The decision to undergo MTP may be due to various personal, medical, or socioeconomic reasons. The process can be performed using medications or through surgical methods, depending on the stage of pregnancy and individual circumstances.

Reasons for MTP

MTP is performed for various reasons, including:

• Unplanned or Unwanted Pregnancy.
• Health Risks to the Mother: If continuing the pregnancy poses a threat to the mother's health.
• Fetal Abnormalities: If the fetus is diagnosed with severe congenital or genetic abnormalities.
• Rape or Incest: In cases of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest.
• Socioeconomic Factors: If the parents feel they are unable to support a child financially or emotionally at the time.

Procedure for MTP

• Pre-procedure evaluation: A healthcare provider will assess the gestational age of the pregnancy, review medical history, and perform an ultrasound if necessary.
• Consent: In most cases, the woman will need to give informed consent before undergoing MTP.
• Post-procedure care: After the procedure, the patient will be monitored for any signs of complications and advised on recovery.
