What are MTP and D&C?

MTP (Medical Termination of Pregnancy)

MTP is a medical procedure used to terminate a pregnancy through medication or surgery. It can be performed within the first trimester (up to 12 weeks) or, in certain cases, up to 20 weeks of gestation. MTP can be carried out using medications (medical abortion) or through surgical procedures such as vacuum aspiration or dilation and evacuation (D&E).

D&C (Dilatation and Curettage)

D&C is a surgical procedure commonly used to remove tissue from the uterus, including during MTP or for diagnostic purposes. It involves dilating the cervix and scraping the uterine lining using a curette, a thin instrument.

Legal Regulations in India

In India, the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, of 1971, governs the legal aspects of abortion. According to the law, MTP can be performed under certain conditions:

  • Up to 12 weeks of gestation: Requires the opinion of one registered medical practitioner.
  • Between 12 to 20 weeks of gestation: Requires the opinion of two registered medical practitioners.
  • Beyond 20 weeks: Permitted only in situations where carrying a pregnancy to term puts the mother's life, and her physical or mental health in danger, or there is a significant chance that the unborn child will have physical or mental defects.

  • Medical Reasons: MTP/D&C may be necessary in cases where continuing the pregnancy poses a risk to the woman's health or life, such as severe medical conditions or fetal abnormalities detected during prenatal screening.
  • Traumatic Events: In situations of sexual assault or traumatic events, MTP/D&C may be needed to address the emotional and physical well-being of the woman.
  • Fetal Demise: In cases of fetal demise or miscarriage, D&C may be performed to remove retained tissue from the uterus and prevent complications such as infection or excessive bleeding.
