DANGEROUS ABORTION

The government of many countries have abortion completely banned but still the process is performed. Many professionals refuse to perform this procedure because of ethics which makes the desperate lady find the nearest quack, take friendly advice or do something very dangerous.

There are myths about abortive processes and products, they include;

1.       First Schweppes plus lime cannot cause abortion. There is a theory that it could work as an emergency contraceptive by increasing the acidity of the vagina. Semen is basic and there is neutralization reaction in the vagina but when the acidity of the vagina is maintained it could slow down the sperm’s action. This is just a theory please note.

2.       High concentration of salt in water cannot cause abortion but can affect your heart function.

3.       Eating garlic and ginger cannot in anyway lead to abortion

4.       Consumption of high dose of Andrew liver salt will only make you purge

5.       Using of garment hanger to mechanically perform d&c is very dangerous and shows how desperate these younglings can be.

6.       The use of potash (kaun) has not proven to be of any benefit.

7.       Some ladies drink blue, as in the blue used to wash cloths. For crying out loud who invented this? This is supposed to be a form of dye.

8.       There have been reports of girls inserting herbs into their vagina to abort a pregnancy. Certainly there are plants that can induce abortion but they should be taking orally. Plants are made up of a lot of constituents which are better handled through the stomach route than through the vagina route.

9.       Some girls chew razor blade and all sorts of harsh things hoping to abort their pregnancy. Bad news for them the mouth, throat, stomach, intestine and anus tract is very different and well shielded from the womb.

The idea of using something harsh either through the mouth or vagina is gruesome and can lead to unbelievable fatal outcomes. I suggest that parents should be closer and less rigid with their female kids especially teenagers. Give them a space to talk, let them know that no matter what problem they find themselves in home is still the best place for help.

For those that visit quacks for medications and those who go online to get information on drugs to procure, I have this advice for you; confirm the dose of the drug because the dose of pregnancy below 3 months is different from that of a pregnancy at term. If a high dose is given it could break the womb.

Lovely ladies, you are beautiful in your own way so don’t believe the lies. Be wise about your choices, pregnancy is one thing that can change your life forever either wonderfully or otherwise.
