1)What is MTP?
Intentional termination of a pregnancy before it reaches viability is called medical termination of pregnancy (MTP). It is an induced abortion.
2)Indications of MTP
There are various indications for considering MTP, including:
- Health Risks: When the continuation of pregnancy poses a risk to the physical or mental health of the mother.
- Fetal Abnormalities: When the fetus has severe abnormalities that are incompatible with life or would lead to serious health issues.
- Unwanted Pregnancy: In cases of unplanned or unwanted pregnancies, where the woman is not prepared to carry the pregnancy yet.
- Failure of Contraception: When contraceptive methods fail, resulting in pregnancy despite the use of birth control.
- Legal Reasons: In situations where the pregnancy is a result of sexual assault or violates the law.
It’s important to note that MTP should always be performed by a qualified healthcare provider in a safe and regulated environment.
We have a government-approved MTP center where Dr Mrunal Kapadnis practices safe abortion services in Nashik.
