Abstract:

Cats routinely undergo medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) to control reproduction by terminating unwanted pregnancies. Post-coital contraception, also known as emergency contraception or pregnancy termination, are indeed common procedures in veterinary practices for companion animals like bitches and queens. Typically, a veterinarian guides these procedures, which may involve medications or surgical interventions based on the pregnancy stage and specific circumstances. Pet owners must discuss their options with a veterinarian to determine the best course of action for their animal’s health

Background: With the legislation of the medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) act in 1971, India became one of the first countries legalizing abortion on moderately liberal grounds for women to access safe abortion services. But MTP is often used as the most important method of fertility regulation by the community in the struggle to control family size. Though MTP is a safe procedure and legalised, it is not free from complications and it is dangerous to use it for spacing.

Abstract:

Summary In 1971, the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act was implemented to deal with unsafe abortions, fetal complications, and maternal mortality. In India, it is estimated that more than half of all abortions are unsafe leading to infection, hemorrhages, injury to internal organs, and sometimes maternal death. To address these issues, the MTP Act was amended in 2021 to promote uniformity, accessibility, availability, affordability, and quality of MTP services with appropriate management in case of any adverse event.

In this research work the aim and objective was to evaluate the effect and efficacy of prostaglandin (misoprostol) in termination of pregnancy at early stages of gestational period starting from 6 weeks to 12 weeks (1st tri-mester).

Medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) services and emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) are legal in India. Despite this, there are barriers to women’s access due to provider resistance towards these services. It is important to understand the obstetrics and gynaecology professionals’ (OGPs) attitudes towards MTP and ECP services. The Achutha Menon Centre for Health Science Studies (AMCHSS) scale with 20 items, 16 related to MTPs and 4 related to ECPs, was developed and validated to measure the attitude of OGPs towards provisioning of MTP and ECP services in circumstances when it is legally a
