Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP)
Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Services
Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP), commonly known as abortion, is a safe and legal procedure in India, conducted under specific circumstances as outlined by the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act. Dr. Nirmala Chandrashekar offers compassionate and professional care for women considering this option, ensuring that the procedure is performed safely, ethically, and with complete confidentiality.
When MTP May Be Considered
MTP may be recommended in the following cases:
- Health Risks: If the pregnancy poses a health risk to the mother or could lead to severe complications.
- Fetal Abnormalities: If tests show significant fetal abnormalities that may impact the quality of life for the child or mother.
- Unplanned or Unwanted Pregnancy: In certain cases, MTP may be sought due to personal, medical, or social reasons.
Dr. Nirmala carefully evaluates each case, ensuring that all procedures comply with legal requirements and prioritize the physical and emotional well-being of the patient.
The MTP Procedure
MTP can be performed either medically or surgically, depending on the stage of pregnancy and the individual’s health profile:
Medical Abortion: This involves the use of prescribed medication to terminate the pregnancy. It is usually an option up to the first 7-9 weeks and is supervised by Dr. Chandrashekar to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Surgical Abortion: For pregnancies beyond the initial weeks or where a medical abortion is unsuitable, a minor surgical procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia. The procedure is conducted with precision and care to ensure minimal discomfort and a quick recovery.
Dr. Nirmala provides a full explanation of each method, addressing any questions or concerns the patient may have to help them make an informed decision.
