Gentle Care Abortion method and services at AHB in more detail

• Conducive ambiance: It can be expected from every woman to be a little nervous before undergoing an abortion procedure. And hence, it becomes important to give her a calming and comfortable environment from her first visit to her last follow-up.

While non-personalized hospitals have large waiting rooms with a lot of crowds, this is not the case for patients in or travelling to Bangalore and taking an appointment for an abortion at AHB. 

At AHB, each patient is examined and offered treatment in a private room where she can feel relaxed and stay calm.

Big and cold operation theaters often add to the patient’s anxiety. But, at AHB, you can expect a truly calming atmosphere where you can have a stress-free abortion procedure.

• Consultation: AHB offers one-on-one consultation of the patient with the gynaecologist. Before prescribing an abortion procedure that suits best to your health benefit, the doctor studies each case in a comprehensive manner.

The doctor takes down all necessary medical notes, conducts necessary tests and ultrasound scan before the procedure to make sure that the best-suited abortion method is prescribed. This helps in prescribing the best medical treatment specifically for each patient, versus a generic approach that may not be suited to an individual patient.  

• Personalised healthcare: At AHB, you can expect to receive high-quality highly personalised healthcare of international standards, well recognized and accredited on the global table.

The latest techniques are used to make abortion experiences completely painless and comfortable so that the patient can resume normal activities at the earliest.

All our medical staff is technically as well as professionally highly proficient. Their kind and caring attitude and non-judgemental behaviour will make you feel comfortable throughout your stay at the AHB.

• Caring and supporting medical staff: In large non-personalized hospitals, a companion is generally not welcome with the patient. And every doctor and nurse has to attend to many patients which limit the access to personalized and individual attention for nursing support. 

At AHB, you can expect a one-to-one conversation with the doctor. Besides, there is one nurse assigned to each patient during her procedure while the doctor examines and performs the abortion. This ensures that all needs of the patient at the individual level are met without any compromise. This also helps in avoiding complications by managing all situations well in time.

With a caring nurse by your side, you will feel very stress-free and relaxed. 

• Same-day procedure: At most of the hospitals, some limited doctors and nurses have to attend a large number of patients and hence, there’s waiting. But, at the premier abortion clinic, AHB, there is one-to-one consultation and no waiting at all.

You can call to book an appointment and can avail a safe abortion on the same day itself without any delay. Moreover, since you will have a scheduled appointment, you will not have to spend your time in the waiting area once you arrive at the scheduled time.

Our efficient system and processes ensure that you have a hassle-free safe abortion.

At AHB, with our Gentle Care Abortion method, great concern is kept on cleanliness so that each patient can experience a safe abortion. All the medical tools and pieces of equipment are properly sterilized before and after each procedure.

This helps in preventing the occurrence of any infections. Moreover, dehumidifiers and air conditioners keep the environment completely conducive around the clock around the year. 

• Post-recovery diet: After the abortion procedure, many hospitals do not offer a post abortion recovery program and diet to the patient. But, at AHB, each patient is provided with a post-abortion diet to help her with an instant energy source that can help her feel recovered soon enough. 

• Personal Comfort: Apart from the world-class health facilities, AHB provides several other features which distinguish it form any other abortion clinic.

Abortion experiences differ for every woman

Have you experienced an abortion before? If yes, feel free to share your experiences in the comments section below. We love to connect people through their experiences so that people wanting abortion can be helped with information and resources. 

Many women have traumatizing abortion experiences. Some face the harsh behaviour of the staff for seeing abortion decision with stigma, especially if the woman seeking an abortion is unmarried. 

Every abortion story is different. Let’s see how having availed the Gentle Care Abortion could change your experience, from some abortion stories at other MTP centres.

#1. “I experienced harm and trauma and abortion was a very painful experience.”

At AHB, all abortions are performed by gentle touch using the latest medical technology so that each abortion is entirely painless.

Moreover, abortions are performed under anaesthetic conditions to keep the patient calm and relaxed during the procedure. The above experience could have been different if the abortion was availed at AHB.

#2. “I went for abortion, but my pregnancy was not intrauterine. It was ectopic. But, I was given abortion pills to terminate my pregnancy without any ultrasound scan only through a positive urine pregnancy test. A couple of days later, I fainted. When brought to the doctor, I was diagnosed with a burst ectopic pregnancy and I had to lose my fallopian tube and ovary of the left side which were removed surgically. Now, two years later, I am still struggling to conceive .”

At AHB, the abortion story could have been different. The highly progressive abortion team ensures the location of pregnancy through a transvaginal ultrasound before prescribing any abortion method.

Had the ultrasound been done earlier at the time of the missed period, ectopic pregnancy removal or an ectopic pregnancy surgery could have been done gently at an early stage.

Moreover, abortion pills do not terminate ectopic pregnancies. It has to be treated differently with a different set of medicines. This abortion story could have been entirely different if the abortion was performed at AHB.

#3. “I was unmarried at the time of my abortion. The doctor and the nurse were very harsh towards me and used comments that I can never forget in my life. They judged me without any consideration for my medical status or my decisions. They did not know what I was going through. They further hit me emotionally.”

At AHB, all the staff from the doctors to nurses to other helping staff are full of empathy and kindness. Their professional behaviour has no room for judging anyone’s condition, decisions and choices.

No patient is judged for anything. For us, each patient has the right to a safe abortion regardless of any other thing. This story could have been different at AHB.

In the end, it is all about you being healthy yourself. And any decision in this regard shall be treated professionally without being judged.

It is the right of every woman to have access to safe abortions and AHB makes sure of providing Comprehensive abortion care and that too gently.
