The Surgical abortion procedure is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in South Africa. The rate of complications is less than 2% and most complications are minor and easily treated.
Before the abortion procedure it is important to know the duration of your pregnancy. At Abortions clinic in Mpumalanga The duration of your pregnancy will be confirmed at our clinic by an ultrasound and pelvic examination.
After the doctor completes the assessment, she/he will insert the speculum into the vagina to hold the walls of the vagina walls open so the cervix can be seen. The cervix is then numbed with local anaesthetic. A registered nurse will offer analgesic/ anxiolitic (painkiller and relaxing medication) to help with the comfort during the procedure.
