- Removing pregnancy tissue and checking whether the procedure is complete
The surgical method is decided after confirming the pregnancy status.
Surgical abortion is a method that removes pregnancy tissue from the uterus by suction or similar means. The method, pain control, anesthesia, and preparation vary with gestational age, location of the pregnancy, and your health. A full explanation of counseling and options can first be reviewed in Abortion Care Information.
The available scope of care, methods, anesthesia, required documents, and costs are confirmed through actual examination and consultation.
We check these before planning surgery.
Method and your own decision
Ask to hear about possible methods, risks, and alternatives, and raise any questions you have. The scope of care and required procedures are confirmed during your visit.
Pain control and going home
Depending on the actual plan—local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia—you will be advised about fasting and whether someone should accompany you. You should also confirm whether you may drive after sedation or anesthesia.
We continue to follow the course and recovery.
Same-day condition and consent confirmation
We review your health, preparations, and the plan again. If anything differs from what you were told, please ask before proceeding.
Surgery using the planned method
The procedure is done with instruments and methods suited to the pregnancy. Please ask us to explain the time of the surgery itself separately from the time you will stay, including observation and getting ready to go home.
Recovery check before going home
We monitor bleeding, pain, and recovery after anesthesia, and decide on medication, how to contact us, and a later follow-up plan.
During recovery, we look after both your body and how you are feeling.
Expected changes and complications
Abdominal pain and bleeding can occur. You should receive an explanation of possible infection, retained tissue, injury to the uterus or cervix, and the possibility of needing additional treatment.
Daily life and contraception planning
Resume daily activities and sexual activity according to your recovery and the instructions you receive. You can become pregnant again, so if you want contraception, discuss when to start and which method to use.
Feelings that may need support
You may feel many emotions, including relief or sadness. If the burden continues, you can tell the medical team and ask for counseling support.
Please tell us right away about worsening pain or bleeding, or fever.
When contacting the surgical facility
Seek care promptly if bleeding increases, pain worsens, or you notice fever, unusual discharge, or other changes that may suggest infection. If you faint or your condition suddenly worsens, get emergency help.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can surgery be done on the same day as the consultation?
It depends on test results, your health, and preparation and scheduling. Same-day procedures are not guaranteed. Confirm the necessary preparation when you book.
How is follow-up after surgery done?
You will be advised how completion and recovery will be confirmed. If symptoms remain or a change concerns you, contact us even before the scheduled date.
Do induced abortion and termination of pregnancy mean the same thing?
Induced abortion is a term for ending a pregnancy through medical intervention. It is distinct from miscarriage, and this page describes surgical methods. Available options are discussed after checking gestational age, pregnancy location and health status.
