Women's Health
We understand that as a modern woman, you have a thousand things on your plate, but it’s crucial to prioritise your health.
2 treatments at our abortion clinic
There are two methods you can use to end your pregnancy: an abortion pill or curettage. Both therapies are available if you are less than 9 weeks pregnant. The only choice if you are more than nine weeks pregnant is curettage. You can choose with the assistance of the doctor and nurse during the intake interview.
Abortion pill
To end your pregnancy medically, take an abortion pill. The first tablet will be provided to you during your clinic consultation. You will inject four more tablets at home two days later. The amniotic sac will be released throughout the course of that day, marking the end of the pregnancy. You must stay at home that day because doing this will result in cramps and blood loss.
Surgical Procedure
An experienced clinician vaginally removes the pregnancy using either specialized devices (dilation and evacuation) or suction (vacuum aspiration).
For pregnancies up to 23 weeks and 6 days, we provide surgical abortions. Depending on your medical history and how many weeks along you are in your pregnancy, we will recommend a certain surgical abortion treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
There are two types of abortions, and both are safe and effective:
Medical Abortion : A person takes pills (tablets) to end a pregnancy.
Surgical Abortion : A technique to terminate a pregnancy is performed in a clinic or hospital. The length of the pregnancy affects the type of operation.
Future pregnancy problems won’t arise if your treatment is straightforward. There is no concrete evidence linking abortion to ectopic pregnancy, subsequent infertility, or other pregnancy difficulties. The probability of subsequent pregnancies ending before the due date rises with each abortion, however there is insufficient medical evidence to support a link between abortion and this outcome. We give you all the knowledge you need to make the best decision for yourself by using information that is supported by evidence. A medical expert will go over all the known dangers and side effects related to the therapy option you have chosen.
No, there isn’t any evidence linking abortion to breast cancer.
In South Africa, abortion is permitted during every stage of pregnancy. Your situation will determine your alternatives.
