In Clinic Abortion (Surgical Abortion)
Types of in clinic abortions performed at our Clinic
Suction is used in clinic abortions to remove a pregnancy from the uterus. Abortion operations can be performed in clinics in two different ways. Whichever kind is best for you will depend on how far along you are in your pregnancy, according to your doctor or nurse.
The most typical kind of in-clinic abortion is suction abortion, sometimes known as vacuum aspiration. Your uterus will be gently suctioned empty. Typically, it is administered for 14 to 16 weeks following the last menstrual cycle.
Another type of in-clinic abortion method is called dilation and evacuation (D&E). Your uterus is evacuated using medical equipment and suction. If it has been 16 weeks or more since your last period, you are typically eligible for a D&E rather than an aspiration abortion later in the pregnancy.
To what extent do in clinic abortions work?
In-clinic abortions are incredibly successful. Over 99 times out of 100, they function. It is quite uncommon to need a second procedure because the abortion wasn’t successful.
Depending on where you go, you can get an abortion as early as possible. It is available in certain locations as soon as a pregnancy test comes back positive. Some physicians or nurses would rather hold off until five to six weeks following the start of your most recent menstrual cycle.
The regulations in your state and the particular physician, abortion facility, or Planned Parenthood health center you visit will determine how late you can obtain an abortion. It is advisable to attempt to have your abortion as soon as possible because it could be more difficult to find a medical professional who will perform one after the 12th week of pregnancy.
The type of abortion you select will rely entirely on your circumstances and personal preferences. Some opt for an in-clinic abortion because they prefer to have their procedure done at a health center, where qualified support staff, nurses, and doctors are present throughout. (You can undergo the abortion at home if you take the abortion pill.)
A medication abortion can take up to 24 hours to complete, but the majority of in-clinic abortions take only 5 to 10 minutes. This is another reason why in-clinic abortions are faster than abortion pills.
You can choose the type of abortion that is best for you with the assistance of your doctor, nurse, or health center counselor.
