Methods for Second Trimester Abortion in India
12 to 16 weeks: Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) — the preferred method. The cervix is prepared over 1 to 2 days with medication to soften and dilate it. Then the uterine contents are removed under anaesthesia. Takes 30 to 60 minutes. Hospital stay of 4 to 8 hours.

Second Trimester Abortion Requires Planning
Unlike first trimester procedures which can often be done on the same day second trimester procedures require preparation and planning. Cervical ripening medications are usually given 1 to 2 days before the procedure. MySurgery helps you plan the entire process including accommodation near the hospital.

If you are considering second trimester MTP please contact MySurgery immediately. Gestational age increases every day and earlier procedures are always simpler and safer. Call 8588807050 or WhatsApp us for priority assistance.
