Understanding the Abortion Procedure: A Medical Overview


Question
What do the doctor's do to a female who wants to have an abortion???

Answer
Hi Lindsey :)

Procedure wise? Or before/during/after? Procedure wise, with a surgical abortion, the cervix is numbed, dilated, and the doctor usually uses a vacuum suction aspiration technique where they suction out most of the pregnancy, sometimes leaving a little bit to be pushed out as the uterus rids itself of all of it. That's a common first trimester surgical procedure, which takes 3-5 minutes.
