We have lots of articles talking about pregnancies. We have handful dealing about abortions. And we have only a few that tells us the problems women face when going through the process and what we as their partners, need to do to help them be more comfortable. Yes, the process might be done by only the woman but it is our duty to help her lead her life normally even after the process.

Let's start with the basics...

What is abortion?

An abortion is the terminating of pregnancy. At the time of pregnancy, women get prepared psychologically and emotionally for motherhood. She builds up her expectations for her baby and starts dreaming about her kid's future. Abortion is an extremely unnatural experience for a woman. It is at the time of an abortion, that a woman feels extremely distressed.

What does a woman feel?

At the time of abortion, the woman can go through a range of emotions. You might see her happy at times and sad at another - there can be lots of emotional fluctuations during this volatile period.

What do you need to do as her partner?

During the time of abortion, women often get confused as to whether their decision is valid or not. As a man, one must never force on her decision. It must be solely left to the woman. It is only when she fails to decide what to do, that you should help her take the decision.

What do you need to do after the abortion?

For different reasons, women go in for abortion. After the process, many women regret their decision and get emotional. They might be mentally perturbed. The feeling of guilt, anger, and grief intensifies. Alcohol consumption may increase if the woman is drinks alcohol. Emotional turbulence will see a rise and they will have difficulty to communicate effectively. In the worst cases, it can lead to increase in suicidal tendency as well.

Treatments available

Though there are many complications that can arise, the good thing is that they can be cured if treated. The only problem here is that the problem may be difficult to diagnose at first - the woman doesn't express herself at such times. She stays reserved. In recent days, treatment is also done online by counseling the patient. If she is not treated, the problems intensify over the years and can lead to a number of problems. It becomes the responsibility of her man to understand her and make sure that she receives the right medication needed.
