Surgical Abortion ( In-Clinic Abortion)
Surgical abortion involves the removal of the pregnancy vaginally by an experienced doctor either by using suction (vacuum aspiration) or specialised instruments (dilation and evacuation).
We offer surgical abortions up to 19 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy. The type of surgical abortion procedure we offer you will depend on how many weeks you have been pregnant and your medical history.
What is surgical abortion?
Under a surgical abortion, one of our experienced staff removes the pregnancy through your vagina using either suction (vacuum aspiration) or specialized tools (dilation and evacuation).
How long does a surgical abortion take?
In our clinics, we provide surgical abortion as a day therapy. Your gestation (the number of weeks you are pregnant) can affect the surgical abortion procedure and, consequently, the length of time you stay at the clinic.
Surgical abortion recovery
You will spend some time in our recovery lounge following your treatment, enjoying some light refreshments, until you are prepared to return home.
Afterward, most people will have some bleeding and cramping. The bleeding will resemble a heavy period and last for one to two weeks. After the operation, cramping is also common as the womb shrinks back to its usual size. We will provide you guidance on the right kind of pain medication to take and, if needed, when to get more help.
Risks involved in Surgical Abortion
Potential dangers include bleeding, allergic reactions, and infection, just like with any medical operation.
The decision to have a surgical abortion is a personal one, and Melissa Abortion Clinic is here to help you with the expertise and compassion you need. You may rely on our qualified experts to help you through this process with knowledge and compassion. At every step of your journey, your well-being is our first focus.
