Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I will try my best to provide you with best possible professional recommendations to your questions.

Medical termination of pregnancy is possible to maximum of 60 days from last menstrual period. but chances of failure increases after 7 weeks of pregnancy.

Drugs should be taken under supervision and followed up with ultrasound scan to rule out any incomplete abortion.

Surgical methods include:
1.Cervical dilatation followed by evacuation of uterus by:
Curettage /Suction evacuation / vacuum aspiration / Dilatation and evacuation
2.Menstrual aspiration

I advice you to consult your gynecologist for the proper management. Never go for self medication, it could be extremely XXXXXXX especially post Cesarean.

Hope I have answered your query. I will be glad to answer any further queries.

Regards.
