All patients are treated with individualized, personalized care. A medical history is obtained to alert the physician to medical conditions and any allergies. Warm, courteous professionals counsel each patient extensively on the benefits, risks, and alternatives of the procedure.
What are Abortion Pills?
With the medical abortion method (often referred to as the abortion pill), a pill (Mifeprex) is given to stop further growth of the pregnancy, and a second medicine (Misoprostol) is given later to cause the pregnancy to be expelled. Except in rare cases, no surgical procedure is needed. If a surgical procedure becomes necessary, there will be no additional charge. The advantage of a medical abortion is that you can avoid having a surgical procedure, and you may go through the process in the comfort of your own home. Many women prefer taking the abortion pill because they will not have to bring a driver with them. This allows them to complete the abortion process without having to involve a friend or family member.
What are the possible risks of taking the abortion pills?
Medication abortion has been used safely in the U.S. for more than 20 years. Serious complications are really rare but can happen. Keep in mind that abortion at any gestation by any method is safer than giving birth.
Complications can include:
- The abortion pills don’t work and the pregnancy doesn’t end
- Blood clots in your uterus
- bleeding too much or too long
- infection
- allergic reaction to one of the medicines
Does the abortion pill have long-term side effects?
The abortion pill is safe and effective. It’s a very common way to have an abortion, and millions of people have used it safely.
There are lots of myths about the effects of an abortion. But here are some facts:
- Unless there is a rare serious complication that was left untreated, there is no risk to future pregnancies or overall health.
- Abortions don’t increase the risk of breast cancer.
- Abortions do not affect fertility.
- Having an abortion will not cause problems for future pregnancies like birth defects, miscarriage, infant death, ectopic pregnancy, premature birth, or low birth weight.
What are the possible risks of having an abortion procedure?
In-clinic aspiration abortion procedures are very common and very safe. Sometimes they are referred to as “surgical” abortions, but really there’s no “surgery”. There’s no incision or cutting, it’s just a simple, in-clinic procedure. Abortion is 14 times safer than childbirth. In terms of risk, abortion is similar to other gynecological services that take place in doctor’s offices every day.
Like any medical procedure, there are some risks. A few things can affect your risk level – your medical and pregnancy history, the gestation of your pregnancy, and if you have sedation or general anesthesia.
Serious complications are really rare but can happen. These include:
- The abortion doesn’t work and the pregnancy continues
- Blood clots in your uterus
- very heavy bleeding
- infection
- injury to your cervix, uterus, or other organs
- allergic reaction to medication
