Background: Medical abortion is a widely accepted and extremely effective procedure of providing abortion services. The findings of this study will be disseminated among healthcare professionals to enhance treatment and suggestions. Additionally, they will be utilised for future research endeavors, such as presentations and article publications.
Objective: The objective is to assess the effectiveness of misoprostol compared to manual vacuum suction in patients experiencing first trimester miscarriages.
Material & Methods: The research was carried at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Qazi Hussain Ahmed Medical Complex, Nowshera, between June 2021 and December 2021. The study participants were allocated to two groups by a random assignment process utilising a lottery approach. Participants in group A received Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA), whereas participants in group B were treated with misoprostol. The effectiveness of the procedure is determined by the lack of any remnants of pregnancy on the fifth day of treatment.
Results: Our results indicate that the mean age of patients in Group A was 30± 7.93 and that of Group B was 31± 7.11. 50 (94%) patients responded well to manual vacuum aspiration; 45 (85%) responded well to misoprostol.
Conclusion: Our research findings indicate that manual vacuum aspiration is more effective than misoprostol in treating miscarriage during the first trimester of pregnancy.
