Medical Termination of Pregnancy
MTP, which stands for Medical Termination of Pregnancy, is a procedure of terminating pregnancy using medicines. In the early stages of pregnancy (7-9 weeks), it can be terminated with the help of medicine, otherwise, the surgical process is needed. If the length of pregnancy is not exceeded 20 weeks then, medical termination of pregnancy is legal in India. Legally, only the consent of a major pregnant woman is needed in terminating the pregnancy and no other person’s consent needs to be obtained.
MTP is performed by experienced professionals and gynaecologist because even if the procedure is minor, the risk involved is high. It is important to visit a gynaecologist because there can be numerous complications regarding the abortion and before proceeding further one needs to check all the risk associated with medical termination of pregnancy.
