Why Women from Berlin Choose Istanbul for Abortion

Istanbul has become one of the most trusted medical destinations for women from Germany, especially from Berlin, who seek safe, affordable, and discreet abortion care.
The city combines world-class healthcare standards, multilingual medical teams, and complete confidentiality with cost-effective prices compared to Western Europe.

Main reasons why Berlin patients prefer Istanbul:

  • Experienced and board-certified gynecologists

  • Modern clinics with international hygiene standards

  • Full confidentiality and private recovery rooms

  • German- and English-speaking medical staff

  • Direct daily flights from Berlin to Istanbul (≈2h 50min)

  • Affordable treatment and short waiting times

Clinics in Istanbul provide same-day consultations and procedures, allowing women from Berlin to complete their treatment during a short 1–2 day visit.

Before Traveling

  • Confirm your pregnancy with a blood test or ultrasound in Berlin.

  • Contact the clinic in Istanbul via WhatsApp (+90 541 998 34 34) for scheduling and estimated cost.

Abortion Options in Istanbul for Patients from Berlin

Clinics in Istanbul offer two internationally approved abortion methods, depending on the stage of pregnancy:

  1. Medical Abortion (Abortion Pill)

  2. Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)

Both are scientifically proven, effective, and recommended by WHO and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).

1. Medical Abortion (Abortion Pill)

Medical abortion is suitable for pregnancies up to 10–11 weeks. It uses two medications — mifepristone and misoprostol — administered under medical supervision.

  • Mifepristone blocks the hormone progesterone, stopping pregnancy development.

  • Misoprostol causes uterine contractions, expelling the pregnancy tissue naturally.

The process typically takes 24–48 hours and is similar to a heavy menstrual period.
According to PubMed (2023), success rates reach 98% when medically monitored.

Advantages:

  • Non-surgical and minimally invasive

  • Can be completed discreetly

  • Low risk and quick recovery

Possible Side Effects:
Mild cramps, nausea, or fatigue may occur temporarily.
Serious complications such as infection or excessive bleeding are extremely rare (<1%).

Clinics also offer telemedicine consultations, so Berlin patients can receive medical advice remotely before traveling.

2. Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)

Vacuum aspiration is a short, safe, and painless in-clinic procedure, typically performed up to 14–16 weeks of pregnancy.

Procedure Steps:

  1. Local anesthesia or mild sedation is applied.

  2. The cervix is gently dilated.

  3. A sterile suction device removes the pregnancy tissue.

The procedure takes 5–10 minutes, and patients rest for a short time afterward before discharge.

Recovery:
Mild bleeding or cramping may last a few days. Most women resume daily activities within 24 hours.
Fertility returns quickly, so contraception should be discussed during the follow-up visit.

Safety:
UpToDate (2024) confirms vacuum aspiration is safer than most dental procedures and does not affect future fertility.

Abortion Law in Turkey

Abortion (“kürtaj”) is legal in Turkey up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, with these requirements:

  • Single women: Can decide independently.

  • Married women: Require written spousal consent.

  • After 10 weeks: Allowed only for medical reasons (maternal health risks or fetal anomalies).

All Istanbul clinics operate under Turkish Ministry of Health regulations, ensuring that every procedure is legal, ethical, and confidential for international patients.

Privacy and Confidentiality for Patients from Berlin

Privacy is treated with the highest priority. Clinics guarantee full confidentiality — no information is shared with third parties, authorities, or insurance companies.
German-speaking coordinators are available to support patients from Berlin throughout their stay, ensuring comfort and clarity in communication.

Private recovery rooms and personalized aftercare make the experience discreet and stress-free.

After-Abortion Care and Recovery

Physical Recovery

Light bleeding may last up to 7–10 days.
Mild cramps can be managed with simple painkillers.
Avoid sexual intercourse, swimming, and tampon use for one week.

Emotional Recovery

Most women feel relief after abortion, but some experience temporary emotional sensitivity. Clinics provide post-abortion counseling and support for international patients, including German-speaking staff upon request.

Possible Complications (Extremely Rare)

Complication Frequency Treatment
Heavy bleeding <0.5% Medication or repeat aspiration
Infection <0.1% Antibiotics
Incomplete abortion <0.4% Follow-up procedure
Uterine injury <0.05% Surgical repair (very rare)

Serious complications occur in fewer than 1 in 1,000 cases according to UpToDate (2024).

Fertility After Abortion

Safe abortion does not affect fertility or future pregnancy outcomes.
Large PubMed (2023) studies confirm that women can conceive normally after their next menstrual cycle, once cleared by their doctor.

Contraception After Abortion

After abortion, Istanbul clinics offer personalized contraceptive counseling with options such as:

  • Birth control pills

  • Hormonal injections or patches

  • Long-acting IUDs or implants

  • Condoms and barrier methods

Abortion Costs for Patients from Berlin

Prices vary based on pregnancy stage and clinic type:

  • Medical abortion (pill): €300–€600

  • Surgical abortion (vacuum aspiration): €500–€1,000

Clinics offer transparent prices, private payments, and same-day appointments for international patients.

Why Berlin Patients Prefer Clinics in Istanbul

  • Short, direct flights (2h 50m)

  • Affordable medical costs compared to Germany

  • Licensed gynecologists with international experience

  • Multilingual communication (German, English, Arabic)

  • Complete privacy and quick treatment

Women from Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich increasingly choose Istanbul for professional, confidential, and affordable abortion care.
