About Surgical Abortion

Surgical abortion or Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is performed between 6 to 13 weeks of pregnancy by vacuum aspiration method. This procedure is done by Board Certified gynecologists.

We do not perform Surgical Abortions in our Clinic. We will gladly refer you to other clinics we work with.

Is surgical abortion safe?

Surgical abortion is safe but not 100%. Use of surgical instruments

What should I expect after abortion?

For the next couple weeks, normal bleeding may vary between very light to heavy. Small blood clots may be passed. Your discharge may vary between bright red, pink and dark brown. If you experience extremely heavy bleeding (saturating 2-3 pads an hour) or if a clot passes that is a size of a half dollar or larger, please call the clinic.

Your menstrual period will return in 4-8 weeks unless you started taking birth control pills right after procedure.

You will need to have a follow up exam 2-3 weeks after your surgery
