Dr. Kevin An abortion is a medical procedure to end a pregnancy growing in the womb (uterus). +27782749118
Surgical procedures to induce an abortion are done in clinics or hospitals. A medical abortion can end an early pregnancy at home with prescription medicine – usually mifepristone (RU-486) followed by misoprostol. The type of abortion you get will probably depend almost entirely on how far you are along in your pregnancy.
If you’re in your first trimester, you’ll likely have a vacuum aspiration. If you’re in your second trimester (meaning that it’s been more than 13 weeks since your last menstrual period), you’ll likely have a dilation and evacuation, or D&E. If you’re further along than that, you might have a dilation and extraction, or D&X.
Almost all abortion procedures are outpatient, which means you won’t have to stay overnight in the doctor’s office, clinic, or hospital. +27782749118
