Abortion can be applied in cases where pregnancy poses a risk to the expectant mother, the baby dies in the mother’s womb and has genetic diseases or the continuation of pregnancy is undesired.

Factors such as the month and period of pregnancy at which abortion will be applied can provide different methods of abortion. Vacuum technique is used in the first trimester of pregnancy, i.e. during week 10 of pregnancy. Different abortion techniques can be applied as follow: Revision curettage method for the removal of the remaining parts from the uterus after unexpected miscarriages; probe curettage method in order to diagnose during any gynecological disease; endometrial curettage method for the collection of any sample from the uterus for the diagnosis of infertility.
