Q. Which is the best abortion method?

Well, it may be best for you to discuss your options with the doctor rather than a self-diagnosis. A qualified and experienced gynecologist can better ascertain what’s best for the patient and can help her walk over all the available options. AHB respects patient’s discretion at all times.

Under normal circumstances, the doctor chooses the method of abortion following the length and location of the pregnancy.

Although medical abortion with pills is the earliest abortion method, women tend to go for Gentle Care suction abortion which is an available option for up to 12 weeks. Their preference for Gentle Care suction abortion stems from its advantages over abortion pills like being painless, quick, single-appointment and more efficient. The patient knows that the pregnancy is over before she leaves the hospital.

Whereas, you may need more appointments with abortion pills. Abortion with pills is accompanied with heavy bleeding, abdominal cramps and pain along with the possibility of an incomplete abortion.

And in case your pregnancy is between 12-20 weeks, the doctor may prescribe you a Gentle Care surgical abortion. It is also painless, single-appointment and a 100% successful procedure.

However, the method can vary from woman to woman based on her medical condition. So, we would recommend you to speak to our medical professional before self-diagnosing.

And in the case of ectopic pregnancy, the method may be medical or surgical depending on the patient-specific. We at AHB provide immediate treatment for ectopic pregnancy, if detected during our pre-abortion examination.

Q. Are abortion pills cost-effective?

Well, it may come to you as the first thought that abortion pills or MTP kits come at the least price than any other abortion procedure. However, this may not be true in terms of the cost of medical abortion that you may have to pay. Abortion with pills comes with the possibility of an incomplete abortion, heavy bleeding, pain, discomfort and much more.
