Aborto electivo o terapéutico - Prevención

Nombres alternativos

Aborto terapéutico; Aborto electivo

Prevención:

El empleo de mejores métodos anticonceptivos puede ayudar a prevenir muchos de los embarazos no planeados. Esto abarca educación relacionada con la abstinencia y, en caso de optar por la actividad sexual, la educación sobre los anticonceptivos.

Sin embargo, los métodos anticonceptivos no siempre previenen el embarazo, dado que los embarazos no planeados ocurren incluso cuando las parejas ponen en práctica los métodos anticonceptivos adecuados lo mejor que pueden.

Algunas veces, una mujer opta por terminar el embarazo cuando es fruto de una violación sexual, cuando pone en peligro su salud o cuando el feto es anormal.
