Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aspiration abortion, also known as vacuum aspiration, is the most common method of abortion in the first trimester (up to 12 weeks). It involves inserting a thin tube through the cervix into the uterus and using suction to remove the contents of the uterus. This procedure can usually be done in a doctor's office or clinic and is considered safe and effective. Dilation and evacuation (A) is typically used in the second trimester, while induction termination (B) and labor induction (C) are also used in later stages of pregnancy.
