Why Women from Madrid Choose Istanbul for Abortion

Every year, more women from Spain travel to Istanbul for safe, legal, and confidential abortion care.
While Spain offers abortion services, some women prefer Turkey for privacy, speed, and affordability. Istanbul’s clinics provide personalized care, short waiting times, and full confidentiality, especially for foreign visitors who wish to keep their procedure private.

Reasons why Madrid patients prefer Istanbul:

  • Highly experienced, licensed gynecologists

  • Modern, sterile, and fully equipped clinics

  • Affordable costs compared to Western Europe

  • Quick scheduling and same-day procedures

  • English-, Spanish-, Arabic-, and Russian-speaking staff

  • Compassionate, non-judgmental care

With daily direct flights from Madrid to Istanbul, patients can travel easily and return home in as little as two days.


Travel Information for Patients from Madrid

Many clinics assist international patients with airport transfers and hotel recommendations upon request.

Before Traveling

  • Confirm your pregnancy with an ultrasound or blood test in Madrid.

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

  • Plan for a 2-day visit (consultation + procedure same day; rest and flight back the next day).

  • Married patients should bring spousal consent (required by Turkish law).


Abortion Options in Istanbul for Patients from Madrid

Clinics in Istanbul offer two main abortion methods, both approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG):

  1. Medical Abortion (Abortion Pill)

  2. Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)

Both are safe, effective, and performed by experienced gynecologists.


1. Medical Abortion (Abortion Pill)

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

  • Mifepristone blocks the hormone progesterone, stopping pregnancy development.

  • Misoprostol triggers gentle uterine contractions to remove pregnancy tissue naturally.

The process takes 24–48 hours and is similar to a heavy menstrual period.
PubMed (2023) reports a 98% success rate when performed under professional supervision.

Advantages:

  • Non-surgical and discreet

  • Low complication rate

  • Fast recovery and minimal discomfort

Possible Side Effects:
Temporary cramps, nausea, or fatigue may occur. Serious complications such as infection or heavy bleeding are very rare (<1%).

Some clinics also provide teleconsultations before travel, allowing Spanish patients to discuss their situation confidentially from home.


2. Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)

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

Procedure Steps:

  1. Local anesthesia or mild sedation is given.

  2. The cervix is gently dilated.

  3. A sterile suction device removes the pregnancy tissue.

The entire procedure takes 5–10 minutes, and the patient rests briefly afterward before leaving the clinic.

Recovery:
Light bleeding and mild cramps may continue for a few days. Most patients resume normal activities within 24 hours.
Fertility returns quickly—within two weeks—so contraception is recommended at the follow-up visit.

Safety:
According to UpToDate (2024), vacuum aspiration is one of the safest surgical procedures and does not affect future fertility when performed by trained professionals.


Abortion Law in Turkey

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

  • Single women: May decide independently.

  • Married women: Require written spousal consent.

  • After 10 weeks: Allowed only for medical reasons such as maternal health or fetal abnormalities confirmed by doctors.

All clinics in Istanbul comply with Turkish Ministry of Health regulations, ensuring every abortion is legal, ethical, and confidential for international patients.


Privacy and Confidentiality for Patients from Madrid

Privacy is one of the top priorities for all international patients.

  • Medical information is never shared with third parties.

  • Consultations are private and handled by licensed doctors.

  • Multilingual coordinators (including Spanish-speaking staff) assist throughout the process.

Women from Madrid receive full confidentiality and support from arrival to departure.


After-Abortion Care and Recovery

Physical Recovery

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

Emotional Recovery

Most women feel relief after the procedure, while some may experience temporary sadness or fatigue.
Clinics offer post-abortion counseling and emotional support in English or Spanish 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 abortions when performed in professional clinics.


Fertility After Abortion

Abortion has no effect on fertility.
Large studies from PubMed (2023) confirm no link between safe abortion and infertility, miscarriage, or ectopic pregnancy.
Women can safely attempt pregnancy again after their next menstrual cycle once cleared by their doctor.


Contraception After Abortion

Clinics in Istanbul provide counseling on birth control methods after abortion, including:

  • Oral contraceptive pills

  • Hormonal injections or patches

  • IUDs and contraceptive implants

  • Condoms or barrier methods
