The timing of MTP is one of the most important factors that affects the method, complexity, cost, and recovery. Here is a clear comparison of first and second trimester abortion in India.
First Trimester Abortion (Up to 12 Weeks)
First trimester abortion is the safest and simplest option. Up to 9 weeks medical abortion pills can be used — non-invasive, no surgery, can be managed at home. Between 9 and 12 weeks surgical Suction and Evacuation (S&E or MVA) is the gold standard — 10 to 15 minutes under local anaesthesia, same-day discharge, virtually 100% complete.
Cost: Rs 3,000 to Rs 15,000 depending on method and city.

Second trimester abortion requires more planning and preparation. Between 12 and 16 weeks D&E (Dilation and Evacuation) or D&C combined with cervical preparation is used. Between 16 and 20 weeks medical induction combined with surgical evacuation is typically used.
Second trimester procedures require more preparation, take longer, may require an overnight stay, and have a slightly higher complication risk. However they are still safe when performed by experienced gynaecologists at registered hospitals.
Cost: Rs 12,000 to Rs 25,000 depending on gestational age, method, and hospital.
