Abortion Options in Istanbul for Patients from Düsseldorf
Clinics in Istanbul offer two medically approved abortion methods based on pregnancy duration:
-
Medical Abortion (Abortion Pill)
-
Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)
Both are effective, safe, and approved by the World Health Organization (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 involves taking two medications — mifepristone and misoprostol — under medical supervision.
-
Mifepristone stops progesterone production, halting pregnancy growth.
-
Misoprostol triggers gentle uterine contractions to expel the tissue naturally.
The process is usually completed within 24–48 hours and feels similar to a heavy menstrual period.
PubMed (2023) data confirms a 98% success rate under medical supervision.
Advantages:
-
No surgical intervention
-
Discreet and private
-
Minimal risk of complications
-
Quick recovery time
Possible Side Effects:
Temporary cramps, nausea, or fatigue may occur. Serious complications (infection or heavy bleeding) are extremely rare (<1%).
Some clinics also offer telemedicine consultations before travel for German patients.
2. Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)
Surgical abortion, known as vacuum aspiration, is a short, safe, and painless in-clinic procedure usually performed up to 14–16 weeks.
Procedure Steps:
-
Local anesthesia or mild sedation is administered.
-
The cervix is gently dilated.
-
A sterile suction device removes the pregnancy tissue.
The entire procedure takes about 5–10 minutes, and patients can rest briefly before leaving the clinic.
Recovery:
Light bleeding and mild cramping are normal for a few days. Most women return to their normal routine within 24 hours.
Fertility returns within two weeks, so contraception should be discussed during follow-up.
Safety:
According to UpToDate (2024), vacuum aspiration is one of the safest surgical procedures and does not affect future fertility.
Abortion Law in Turkey
Abortion (“kürtaj”) is legal up to 10 weeks of pregnancy in Turkey, with the following conditions:
-
Single women: May decide independently.
-
Married women: Need written consent from their spouse.
-
Beyond 10 weeks: Allowed only for medical reasons (maternal health or fetal anomalies).
All clinics operate under Turkish Ministry of Health regulations, ensuring all procedures are safe, legal, and confidential.
Privacy and Confidentiality for Düsseldorf Patients
Privacy is a fundamental principle in all Turkish clinics.
Patient information is never shared with authorities, employers, or third parties.
German-speaking coordinators assist women throughout the process to ensure comfort and clarity.
Many clinics also provide:
-
Private recovery rooms
-
Female doctors (upon request)
-
Confidential communication via WhatsApp or email
After-Abortion Care and Recovery
Physical Recovery
Light bleeding may continue for 7–10 days.
Mild cramps are normal and easily managed with prescribed pain medication.
Avoid sexual intercourse, swimming, and tampon use for one week.
Emotional Recovery
Emotional responses vary. Most women feel relief, while others may experience temporary fatigue or sadness.
Clinics offer post-abortion counseling and emotional support in English and German for international patients.
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) |
UpToDate (2024) confirms that serious complications occur in fewer than 1 in 1,000 cases when performed by trained gynecologists.
Fertility After Abortion
Abortion has no negative impact on fertility or future pregnancies.
PubMed (2023) research shows that women who undergo safe abortions can conceive normally after their next menstrual cycle, once medically cleared.
Contraception After Abortion
After abortion, doctors provide contraception counseling to help patients prevent unplanned pregnancies. Options include:
-
Oral contraceptive pills
-
Hormonal injections or patches
-
Long-acting IUDs or implants
-
Barrier methods (condoms, diaphragms)
