Question

Strict conditions are to be followed in the medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) procedure. Mention two reasons.

Answer 1

Hint: The process which involves the termination of a pregnancy by removing the pregnancy tissues from the uterus is called the termination of pregnancy it abortion. Pregnancy tissues involve the zygote that forms from the mating of sperm cells and the egg. Abortion or the termination of pregnancy is done within the 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Complete answer:
The main two reasons for which termination of pregnancy is done under strict conditions are:
If abortion is not done in the proper way several complications can happen to the mother. The complications involve womb damaging, heavy bleeding, damage to the cervix, infection in the womb, etc. Sometimes the complications can be so severe that it may cause death to the mother.
Another major reason to follow the strict regulations for the termination of pregnancy is female foeticide. It is a major problem in India. Though the developing society, some families do possess a stereotype mentality to not having a female child. Thus several illegal abortions and sex determination are done in many places in the country. To stop this violence government and the health sector has taken very strict abortion rules.

Additional information: There is another type of abortion that is found, that is miscarriage. Miscarriage is spontaneous abortion. It is not an abortion that is done intentionally but happens for accidental reasons. The reasons involve the intake of some medicine, poor diet, alcohol consumption, hormonal issues, etc.
Symptoms of the miscarriage are
-Bleeding from vagina
-Severe cramp in the abdomen.
-Tissue discharge from the vagina.
-Mild or heavy back pain.

Note: There are two types of methods are used in abortion. These are medical abortion and surgical abortion. Medical abortion involves the use of some drugs that causes abortion. The drugs are called abortifacient. Surgical abortion involves vacuum aspiration. It removes the embryo, placenta, and other tissues by using a syringe. Both the techniques are usable in the early stage of pregnancy.
