Medical Abortion Mifeprex most commonly known as the Abortion Pill is used to end an early pregnancy. The earlier you are in the pregnancy, the less bleeding and cramping you will have. At Houston Women’s Clinic you receive pain medication pain along with detailed instructions on how the process works. We advise taking the pain medication before you begin the process to keep the cramping under control. The procedure is very safe and easy if performed by 10-11 weeks from the last menstrual period
Termination of pregnancy: Procedures for safe abortions A pregnancy can be terminated using either a medical or surgical process. The correct process for your termination will depend on the stage of your pregnancy as well as your preference. Medix Women's Clinic South Africa offers both types of safe abortion procedures: The Medical Process at a Medix Women's Clinic . The medical process can only be used if you are less than 9 weeks pregnant. The abortion is performed by using a combination of two medications which work together to terminate the pregnancy. The first medication blocks the hormone called progesterone. Without progesterone the pregnancy will not be sustained. The second medication opens the cervix (mouth of the womb) and causes the uterus (womb) to contract, this will cause the pregnancy to be expelled. After you take the medication, the process is completed at home. The Surgical Process at a Medix Women's Clinic The process may be performed up to 20 weeks of pregnancy but is less complicated the earlier it is completed. You will be seen by a provider at one of our canters, who will examine you and may perform an ultrasound to confirm how far pregnant you are. You may be given medication to open the cervix (mouth of the womb). The procedure is then completed using a suction technique to remove the pregnancy. During your consultation, our nurses and doctors will recommend which safe abortion procedure is right for you. Medix Women's Clinic prices are affordable and abortion clinics are located across South Africa. Depending on the stage of pregnancy, abortion pills or other options may be the right choice for you. Medix Women's Clinic South Africa offers two types of safe abortion procedures: Medical abortion (a method for pregnancies less than 9 weeks) is accomplished by using a combination of two medications that work together to terminate a pregnancy. The first pill stops your ovaries from producing the hormone, progesterone – which is needed for sustaining the pregnancy. The second pill (taken 24 to 48 hours after the first pill) causes cramping and bleeding, which results in your uterus being emptied. The Abortion Procedure (a minor same-day surgical procedure) at a Medix Women's Clinic . Surgical abortion is commonly performed in the first trimester, (up to 12 weeks’ gestation period) – it has a low risk when performed during this timeframe. The procedure can also be performed when you’re in your second trimester (up to 20 weeks). However, the surgery is more complicated if undergone at this point. Based on the gestation (stage of your pregnancy), our nurses and doctors will recommend what safe abortion procedure is right for you.

Procedural sedation is when you are given a sedative through an oral tablet or an IV line – used to reduce anxiety, discomfort, and pain during surgical procedures. This medication works by minimizing pain, making you drowsy and less aware of the procedure as it takes place. Unlike a general anesthetic which makes you unconscious, you will be awake and will be able to communicate verbally with the doctor. Up to 24 hours after the procedure, your coordination will be affected and you should not undertake skilled tasks. What are the risks? The incidence of side effects with sedation are very rare and include unintended loss of consciousness, drowsiness, dizziness, shivering (4%), headaches (4%), and post sedation nausea & vomiting (0.7%) If you become too drowsy, the effects will be reversed by the use of another medication. You may experience a reduction in the amount of oxygen in your bloodstream, due to reduced breathing during sedation. Your breathing level will be monitored throughout the procedure. You should inform the clinician about your medical history, including any medication you are taking and if you had any problems with having either general anesthetic or sedation Very rare risks: – Allergic reaction to the sedative drugs that you have been given Safe abortion resources
