If you are considering an in-clinic abortion, you may want to know how to find appropriate medical care, what assessment may be required, and what to expect when arranging an appointment.
Access to abortion services varies depending on your location, healthcare system, pregnancy duration, available providers, and applicable laws and regulations.
Start With a Medical Consultation
The first step is usually to speak with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional or abortion-care provider.
During a consultation, the provider may discuss:
- How far along the pregnancy may be
- Your medical history
- Current symptoms
- Previous pregnancies or procedures
- Available abortion options
- Possible risks and benefits
- Follow-up requirements
An ultrasound or other assessment may be recommended when clinically appropriate.
How Is the Appropriate Procedure Chosen?
The type of in-clinic abortion depends partly on pregnancy duration and individual medical circumstances.
Common procedures include:
Aspiration Abortion
Aspiration, also called vacuum aspiration, uses suction to remove pregnancy tissue from the uterus and is commonly used during earlier pregnancy.
Dilation and Evacuation
Dilation and evacuation, or D&E, may be used later in pregnancy. It involves preparing the cervix and removing pregnancy tissue using appropriate medical techniques.
A qualified healthcare professional should determine which procedure is appropriate.
Finding an Appropriate Provider
When looking for in-clinic abortion care, consider whether the provider:
- Is appropriately qualified
- Provides a suitable clinical setting
- Offers proper medical assessment
- Explains the procedure and possible risks
- Provides follow-up guidance
- Can arrange referral or emergency care when necessary
Avoid relying solely on unverified online sellers or informal sources for medical treatment.
What Should I Ask Before Treatment?
You may want to ask your healthcare provider:
- Which procedure is recommended for me?
- How far along is the pregnancy?
- What should I expect during the procedure?
- What pain-management options are available?
- What are the possible risks?
- What follow-up will I need?
- What symptoms require urgent medical attention?
- Where should I go if I develop an emergency?
Having these questions answered can help you understand your healthcare options.
