After an Abortion Procedure

Recovery After a Surgical Abortion

Following a surgical abortion, an ultrasound may be used to confirm that all the fetal parts have been removed. The patient is often given medication to contract the uterus and reduce bleeding.

Surgical Abortion Side Effects and Risks

There are risks to any surgery. The majority of abortion procedures are called blind procedures, which means the doctor or medical professional is relying on surgical instruments and cannot see inside the uterus. Contact us to learn what to do in the event of an emergency, complication, or ongoing side effects.

 

Occasionally, some women need another procedure to remove parts of the fetus or pregnancy that have stayed in the womb.
