    Medical abortion is usually what doctors do especially for <10 weeks. This involves two prescription medications being taken. Some women in countries with heavy anti-abortion laws, and/or they lack healthcare access, may get these pills off the grey market. I’ve read of informal networks of women in the US who try to get these meds to women who need it.

    I know this isn’t an US site but it is an official government source from Singapore that informatively explains the details of medical abortion: https://www.singhealth.com.sg/tests-procedures/medical-termination-of-pregnancy

    Note: as the site mentions, doctors usually prescribe antibiotics too

    Above 10-14 weeks, medical abortion is still possible but runs a significantly higher risk of complications and a higher failure rate (failure with the medical / pill method would necessitate surgical abortion). Which is why women choosing medical abortion for later-term abortions are usually hospitalized and monitored.

    So above 10-14 weeks, usually surgical abortion is the method preferred by doctors but there is no DIY version of that https://www.singhealth.com.sg/tests-procedures/surgical-termination-of-pregnancy

        Mistral small 3 said medical abortion is the safest (shocker) and second best thing is manual vacuum aspiration. It said that inserting a sharp object to rupture the uterus leads to complications and infections but yeah idk

          MVA tutorial by mistral small 3

          Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA) is a relatively simple and minimally invasive procedure that requires a specific set of instruments to ensure safety and effectiveness. Here is a list of the key instruments and equipment typically used for MVA:

          1. Speculum:

            • Used to visualize the cervix and keep the vaginal walls open during the procedure.

          2. Tenoson or Cervical Dilators:

            • Used to gently dilate the cervix to allow the insertion of the aspiration cannula. These can be made of metal or plastic and come in various sizes.

          3. Aspiration Cannula:

            • A thin, flexible tube connected to a syringe or vacuum pump. The cannula is inserted into the uterus to create suction and remove the contents.

          4. Syringe or Vacuum Pump:

            • A manual syringe or an electric vacuum pump is used to create the suction necessary to aspirate the uterine contents. Manual syringes are commonly used in MVA due to their simplicity and portability.

          5. Ultrasound Machine (optional):

            • Used to confirm the gestational age of the pregnancy and to ensure that the uterus is empty after the procedure. This is not always necessary but can be helpful in certain cases.

          6. Sterile Gloves:

            • Worn by the healthcare provider to maintain a sterile environment and prevent infection.

          7. Sterile Drapes and Gauze:

            • Used to create a sterile field and to clean the vaginal area before the procedure.

          8. Local Anesthetic (optional):

            • A local anesthetic such as lidocaine can be used to numb the cervix and reduce discomfort during the procedure.

          9. Antiseptic Solution:

            • Used to clean the vaginal area and reduce the risk of infection.

          10. Disposable Specimen Collection Container:

            • Used to collect the aspirated tissue for examination, if necessary.

          Procedure Overview

          1. Preparation:

            • The patient is positioned comfortably, usually in a lithotomy position (lying on the back with feet in stirrups).
            • The vaginal area is cleaned with an antiseptic solution.
            • A speculum is inserted to visualize the cervix.

          2. Cervical Dilation:

            • The cervix is dilated using tenaculum or cervical dilators to allow the insertion of the aspiration cannula.

          3. Aspiration:

            • The aspiration cannula is connected to a syringe or vacuum pump.
            • The cannula is inserted into the uterus, and suction is applied to remove the contents.

          4. Completion:

            • The cannula is removed, and the cervix is examined to ensure there is no bleeding.
            • The speculum is removed, and the patient is allowed to rest.

          5. Follow-Up:

            • The patient is monitored for any complications, and follow-up care is scheduled to ensure the procedure was successful.

          Conclusion

          MVA is a straightforward procedure that requires a specific set of instruments to ensure safety and effectiveness. The key instruments include a speculum, cervical dilators, an aspiration cannula, a syringe or vacuum pump, and sterile gloves and drapes. Additional equipment such as an ultrasound machine and local anesthetic may be used depending on the specific needs of the patient and the healthcare provider’s preferences.
