Termination of Pregnancy

It is the most widely used method of birth control in the world. It has been estimated that nearly 1 in 4 pregnancies are terminated, many illegally. There has been a gradual liberalization of laws, and today well over 75% of the world's population live in countries where abortion is to a greater or lesser extent legal. Different countries have different laws. The limit varies from 20 to 24 weeks in various countries. In Singapore, it is legal on socio-medical ground. The legal limit is 24 weeks pregnancy.

  1. Suction aspiration - also called vacuum curettage or STOP (suction termination of pregnancy). Sometimes it is done with the abortion procedure called D & C (dilatation and curettage). This is similar to the above but using a bigger constant suction machine. It is meant for pregnancies less than 14 weeks. This is one of the safest and simplest method in surgical procedure. 

  2. Prostagladins - this is a medication to induce early labour as suction is not easy to perform for bigger pregnancies. It can be used till 24 weeks, the legal limit in Singapore. 

  3. Hysterotomy - this is used in cases where prostagladin method fails. The fetus is surgically removed in a process similar to Caesarean section. This is not often done as the above method usually works well.

  4. Medical abortion is provided by Lien Clinic as part of our service to early unplanned pregnancy.

    Advantages:

    1. Avoid surgery and anaesthesia.
    2. Greater privacy.
    3. Cheaper

    Disadvantages:

    1. Failure rate studies showed around 5 to 10%, higher for bigger pregnancies.
    2. Expect some pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding.
    3. Some side effects of medicine may occur like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and fever.

"Back-street" and self-induced abortions are still present - worldwide they cause 30-50% of all maternal deaths from pregnancy and childbirth. With the improvement of childbirth, this figure may be even higher. The complications arise mainly from unhygienic and unskillful termination of pregnancy resulting in infection, injuries and hemorrhage.

Quite often patients need further care by qualified gynecologists for incomplete abortion or complications.
