Suction

English to Urdu Medical Medical (general)
I need to describe surgical abortion procedure in Urdu. I would like to use the English word suction, transliterated as سکشن. Is it possible? And would it be male or female in Urdu? Thank you.

Discussion

Qudsia Lone Mar 8, 2014:
word gender The transliteration of 'suction,' i.e. سکشن, would have the feminine gender in Urdu, but the Urdu translation چساؤ would be masculine. E.g. سکشن کی گئی؛ چساؤ کیا گیا

As you have said, the transliteration of 'Suction' ie سکشن can also be used۔
Peer comment(s):

agree Qudsia Lone : I would add transliteration سکشن in brackets as well, since it's a commonly used mechanical term in everyday English, but mostly associated with eating related functions in Urdu.

It is pretty easy and comprehensive Urdu translation. Would be easy to understand instead of transliteration

Suction is used as male, but you need to provide more context. However, transliteration can be used and گردکش may be the other option.

آپ یہاں پر 'سکشن' استعمال کرسکتے ہیں، کیونکہ دوسرا لفظ بذات خود اس کی توضیح کررہا ہے۔
Note from asker:
Thank you, I need to say "Surgical abortion is an aspiration/suction of the embryo..." I thought using سکشن would be the easiest option.

اسقاط بذریعہ چسا وؑ

This term is specifically related to the process of induced abortion using the force of vacuum for induced abortion to suck the contents of uterus.
Transliteration is not appropriate here, instead given translation should be used because process or force of suction need Urdu medical alternative here.

اسقاط حمل بذریعہ عملِ سکشن

What i think Suction is a complete method of abortion so just word چُساؤ can't give the complete picture to reader .

This is the most common method of abortion during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. General or local anaesthesia is given to the mother and her cervix is quickly dilated. A suction curette (hollow tube with a knife-edged tip) is inserted into the womb. This instrument is then connected to a vacuum machine by a transparent tube. The vacuum suction, 29 times more powerful than a household vacuum cleaner, tears the fetus and placenta into small pieces which are sucked through the tube into a bottle and discarded

عملِ اسقاط بذریعہ سکشن بھی استعمال کیا جا سکتا ہے۔

It is quite relevant to the term asked and according to the context of the term. The disagreement is a right of the member, but he should make sure to know the meaning of the Urdu translation of the word. An Urdu dictionary is required for him. Regards.
