Causes Of Abortion And Its Features

By Alan Bradd


Abortions that are caused in the first trimester can comprise of various problems which includes Genetic abnormalities, uterine abnormalities and placental abnormalities as the main causes. The chromosomal abnormality or genetic abnormality is considered as one of the major causes of abortion during the first trimester.

Among the popular companies that produces or synthesizes this drug is called RU486, which is under the supervision of Roussel Uclaf. The abortion drug or also known as abortion pill was first sold in France and then transferred to other countries too.

However, even after the product goes through a lot of scrutiny and controversies, the marketing and selling of this product is still done. The abortion pill is known to be marketed in combination as Mifeprex (a combination of mifepristone, followed misoprostol).

Mifepristone was mostly sold in the countries other than the USA by a laboratory in France in the name as Mifegyne or Mifeprex and it is known to provide a lot of medical benefits. For medicinal purposes, the Mifeprex is used for the termination of pregnancy, which is essentially used in the stage of first trimester or the first three months of the gestation period. It is mainly used in the European countries in Sweden and Britain.

The causes of abortion in the second trimester abortions are considerably different from what happens in the case of first trimester abortions. Here the proportion of cases that have abortions due to genetic abnormality decreases and those that happen due to trauma and other conditions such as cervical incompetence and hypertension increases.

There are conditions found where only consuming the mifepristone doesn't lead to bleeding and it can only be seen after the second drug is taken i.e. misoprostol. The misoprostol drug can be consumed using two methods, either given orally or directly inserted into the vagina. Abdominal cramps start occurring within 48 hours of consuming it; uterine contractions are then followed by discharge of the uterus contents eliminating the aborted foetus out of the body.

The factors or signs that abortion has occurred can be found in the form of vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain and cramps and other systematic symptoms. One of the most important symptoms of abortion is vaginal bleeding, it is press and can one can identify the conception in it. The amount of bleeding is directly proportional to the age of the pregnancy and also the size of the uterus. Not all women might experience vaginal bleeding, some might have profuse bleeding.

Researchers suggested that there were either ethical issue in regards to abortion that initiated the protest or due to the health and safety concerns that occurred due to the use of drugs that causes adverse reactions in the humans, which was very fatal. Thus before the use of such drugs it is important that it is administered by a medical professional.
