Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Suction curettage, also known as vacuum aspiration, is typically performed in the first trimester of pregnancy, often under local anesthesia, and the procedure usually takes about 10 minutes. It is not generally performed after 18 weeks gestation, and it does have known side effects and risks, such as infection or injury to the uterus. It is not specifically performed in late pregnancy for severe fetal abnormalities or to protect the mother's health; other procedures are more common for those situations.
