Understanding Options for Termination of Pregnancy

Termination of pregnancy is a medical procedure that can be performed safely if conducted by a doctor or medical personnel with expertise. In Thailand, termination of pregnancy can be legally performed.

Types of Safe Termination of Pregnancy

  • Medication (Medical Abortion): For pregnancies not exceeding 12 weeks, medication can be taken at home under a doctor’s guidance. If the pregnancy is over 12 weeks, an overnight stay and termination at a medical facility are required.
  • Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA): Must be performed by a doctor at a medical facility. Suitable for pregnancies from 12 weeks up to 16 weeks if performed by a skilled doctor.

Both methods are safe and effective for terminating a pregnancy. Consultation with a doctor is recommended to choose the method that best suits the health of the service recipient.

Preparation Before Termination of Pregnancy

  • Consultation with Doctors and Specialists
    Talking with a doctor helps you receive information about the procedure and its effects, enabling informed decision-making. It also helps assess the pregnancy’s age and conduct preliminary health checks to ensure the body’s readiness.
  • Health Check and Ultrasound
    The doctor may perform an ultrasound to check the pregnancy’s age and confirm there are no complications, such as an ectopic pregnancy. If necessary, the doctor will conduct blood tests to assess health conditions and screen for sexually transmitted diseases.
  • Understanding Physical and Mental Impacts
    • The body may experience temporary changes after termination, such as abdominal pain, bleeding, or fatigue.
    • Preparing mentally is important. Having a counselor or someone who can provide support is recommended.
  • Preparing for Post-Termination Care
    Plan for recovery, avoid heavy work, and ensure adequate rest. Choose an appropriate contraceptive method to prevent unplanned pregnancies in the future.
