The method chosen for uterine evacuation depends on factors such as the duration of the pregnancy and the patient's overall health. Here are the common methods:
Dilation and Curettage (D&C) This surgical procedure involves dilating the cervix and using a curette to remove the uterine contents. It is often performed under local or general anesthesia.
Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA) MVA is a less invasive procedure where a hand-held syringe is used to aspirate the uterine contents. It is usually performed under local anesthesia and is preferred for early-stage pregnancies.
Medical Management Medications such as Misoprostol and Mifepristone can be used to induce uterine contractions and expel the pregnancy tissue. This method is less invasive and can be done in an outpatient setting, but it may take longer and require follow-up.
