Publisher Description
INTRODUCTION About 10% of pregnancies in Bangladesh end in abortion, half of which are induced, and the trend in induced abortion (deliberate attempt to terminate a pregnancy or a suspected pregnancy) is on increase (1-2). Fatal and myriad consequences of unsafe induced abortion are prevalent in developing countries, including Bangladesh (3-6). Socioeconomic and cultural factors and absence of any effective legal abortion-related services (abortion being lawful in Bangladesh only as a life-saving means, and menstrual regulation services are available for regularizing menstruation within six weeks after missed period) probably place Bangladesh in a similar, if not worse, situation as in other developing countries (7).
