Finding the Right Private Clinic for an Abortion
Choosing the best private clinic is important when you are seeking advice on an unplanned pregnancy. The right clinic will be a place where you can feel as comfortable and supported as possible while you receive the highest quality care. An abortion is the medical process of ending a pregnancy, and it is important to make the right decision for you, and part of this is having all the information you need.
Types of Abortion: Medical and Surgical
There are two types of abortion: medical abortion and surgical abortion. The method of abortion depends on how pregnant you are and on your personal choice.
- Medical abortion: This involves taking two types of medication at different times to end a pregnancy. You take 2 kinds of medications over a course of 2 days and pass the pregnancy in the comfort of your home.
- Surgical abortion: This is a short procedure performed under sedation (where you are asleep) and the doctor removes the pregnancy tissue from your womb using a gentle suction.
