[Medical termination of pregnancy by general practitioners].

A medical termination of pregnancy can be carried out effectively and safely up to 9 weeks' amenorrhea by general practitioners. In the case of an early pregnancy, reliable anamnesis and absence of risk factors for an EUG, ultrasound diagnostics are not strictly necessary before a medical termination of pregnancy. Anamnesis and/or b-HCG monitoring are a sound alternative.
