Why Women from Spain Choose Turkey for Abortion

Every year, many women from Spain travel to Turkey for safe, legal, and discreet abortion procedures.
While abortion is available in Spain, some women prefer Turkey due to:

  • Privacy and confidentiality, especially for international patients

  • Short waiting times and immediate availability

  • Lower treatment costs compared to Western Europe

  • Modern clinics and multilingual doctors

  • Warm, compassionate, and judgment-free care

Istanbul, Antalya, and Izmir clinics specialize in welcoming international patients, providing Spanish-, English-, and Arabic-speaking staff, and ensuring a comfortable and stress-free medical experience.

Travel Information for Patients from Spain

Flights

Turkey is easily accessible from major Spanish cities:

  • Madrid → Istanbul: ~4h 15m (direct daily flights)

  • Barcelona → Istanbul: ~3h 45m

  • Malaga → Istanbul: ~4h 10m

  • Valencia → Istanbul: ~4h 20m

Most clinics are located within 30–40 minutes from Istanbul Airport and offer airport transfers and hotel assistance for international patients.

Before Traveling

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

  • Contact the clinic in advance via WhatsApp (+90 541 998 34 34) to discuss availability and pricing.

  • Plan a 2-day medical visit — consultation and procedure on Day 1, rest and return flight on Day 2.

  • Bring your passport and, if married, written spousal consent (as required by Turkish law).

Abortion Options in Turkey for Spanish Patients

Clinics in Turkey offer two main abortion methods, both internationally approved and used safely for decades:

  1. Medical Abortion (Abortion Pill)

  2. Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)

Both methods are effective, safe, and endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and 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 two medications — mifepristone and misoprostol — prescribed under medical supervision.

  • Mifepristone blocks the hormone progesterone, stopping the pregnancy from developing.

  • Misoprostol triggers uterine contractions to remove pregnancy tissue naturally.

The process usually completes within 24–48 hours and resembles a heavy menstrual period.
According to PubMed (2023), medical abortion has a 98% success rate when performed with professional monitoring.

Advantages:

  • Non-surgical and discreet

  • Minimal complications

  • Quick recovery

  • Can often be done privately under supervision

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

2. Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)

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

Procedure Steps:

  1. Local anesthesia or mild sedation is provided.

  2. The cervix is gently dilated.

  3. A sterile suction device removes the pregnancy tissue.

The procedure takes only 5–10 minutes, and most women return home within an hour.

Recovery:
Light bleeding or mild cramping may continue for a few days.
Most patients resume normal activities within 24 hours.
Fertility returns within two weeks, so doctors recommend discussing contraception after the procedure.

Safety:
According to UpToDate (2024), vacuum aspiration is safer than many dental or dermatologic 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: Require written spousal consent.

  • After 10 weeks: Allowed only for medical reasons (health risk or fetal abnormality confirmed by doctors).

Clinics in Turkey fully comply with the Turkish Ministry of Health, ensuring that all procedures are legal, ethical, and confidential.

Privacy and Confidentiality for Spanish Patients

Patient privacy is guaranteed at all stages of care.

  • No information is shared with authorities, employers, or family.

  • Consultations and records are strictly confidential.

  • Spanish- and English-speaking coordinators assist patients throughout their visit.

All medical staff treat international patients with professionalism, empathy, and respect.

After-Abortion Care and Recovery

Physical Recovery

Light bleeding may continue for about 7–10 days.
Mild cramps can be treated with standard pain relief medication.
Avoid sexual intercourse, tampons, and swimming for one week.

Emotional Recovery

Most women feel relief after abortion, while others may experience temporary emotional sensitivity.
Clinics in Turkey offer post-abortion counseling and emotional support to help patients recover both physically and mentally.

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 pregnancies.
Large-scale PubMed (2023) studies confirm no link between legal abortion and infertility, miscarriage, or ectopic pregnancy.
Women can safely try for pregnancy again after their next menstrual cycle, once cleared by their doctor.

Contraception After Abortion

Clinics in Turkey offer modern birth control counseling for all international patients.
Options include:

  • Oral contraceptive pills

  • Hormonal injections or patches

  • Long-acting IUDs or implants

  • Condoms and other barrier methods

Abortion Costs for Patients from Spain

Prices vary depending on the gestational stage and clinic facilities.
Typical range:

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

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

Clinics provide transparent pricing, private payment, and same-day service for Spanish patients.

Why Spanish Patients Prefer Clinics in Turkey

  • Short, direct flights from Madrid, Barcelona, and Malaga

  • Affordable and high-quality medical care

  • Discreet, private, and compassionate service

  • Multilingual teams including Spanish-speaking doctors

  • No waiting periods and fast recovery
