Why Women from Romania Choose Turkey for Abortion
Every year, hundreds of women from Romania—including Bucharest, Constanța, Iași, and Cluj-Napoca—travel to Turkey for safe, confidential, and affordable abortion care.

-
Greater privacy and discreet treatment abroad
-
Lower overall cost compared to Western clinics
-
Multilingual support (English, Romanian, Arabic, Russian)
-
Same-day consultation and procedure
-
No waiting lists or hospital bureaucracy
Clinics in Turkey are known for their high hygiene standards, compassionate care, and respect for women’s autonomy — making them ideal for international visitors seeking a private, professional experience.

Abortion Options in Turkey for Romanian Patients
Clinics in Turkey offer two internationally recognized and medically approved options:
-
Medical Abortion (Abortion Pill)
-
Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)
Both are safe, effective, and recommended by the WHO and ACOG.
1. Medical Abortion (Abortion Pill)
Medical abortion is appropriate for pregnancies up to 10–11 weeks.
It uses two medications — mifepristone and misoprostol — prescribed under medical supervision.
-
Mifepristone blocks the pregnancy hormone progesterone.
-
Misoprostol triggers uterine contractions to expel the pregnancy tissue naturally.
The process is completed within 24–48 hours and resembles a heavy menstrual period.
According to PubMed (2023), medical abortion has a 98% success rate when supervised by qualified doctors.
Advantages:
-
No surgery required
-
Private and discreet
-
Quick recovery
-
Minimal side effects
Possible Side Effects:
Mild cramping, nausea, or fatigue may occur temporarily. Serious complications (infection or heavy bleeding) are extremely rare (<1%).
2. Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)
Vacuum aspiration is a short, safe, and modern procedure typically performed up to 14–16 weeks of pregnancy.
Procedure Steps:
-
Local anesthesia or mild sedation is administered.
-
The cervix is gently dilated.
-
A sterile suction device removes the pregnancy tissue.
The procedure takes about 5–10 minutes, and patients usually leave the clinic within an hour.
Recovery:
Mild cramps and light bleeding are common for a few days. Most women resume normal activities within 24 hours.
Fertility returns within two weeks, so contraception should be discussed at follow-up.
Safety:
According to UpToDate (2024), vacuum aspiration is among the safest outpatient procedures and does not affect future fertility.
Abortion Law in Turkey
Abortion (“kürtaj”) is legal up to 10 weeks of pregnancy under Turkish law, with the following conditions:
-
Single women: May decide independently.
-
Married women: Require written consent from their spouse.
-
Beyond 10 weeks: Allowed only for medical reasons (maternal health risks or fetal anomalies).
All clinics operate under Turkish Ministry of Health regulations, ensuring ethical, legal, and confidential procedures.
Privacy and Confidentiality for Romanian Patients
Privacy is guaranteed in all Turkish clinics.
Medical records are not shared with any authorities or third parties.
Romanian- and English-speaking coordinators help with communication and comfort.
Patients may request female gynecologists for added comfort and cultural sensitivity.
Clinics ensure a completely discreet experience from arrival to departure.
After-Abortion Care and Recovery
Physical Recovery
Light bleeding may last 7–10 days.
Mild cramps are normal and easily treated with pain medication.
Avoid sexual intercourse, tampons, and swimming for one week.
Emotional Recovery
Emotional reactions vary. Most women feel relief, while others may experience temporary sadness or fatigue.
Clinics offer post-abortion counseling and emotional support in Romanian and English to help with recovery.
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 when abortion is performed by trained gynecologists in sterile settings.
Fertility After Abortion
Abortion does not affect fertility.
Large PubMed (2023) studies confirm that women can conceive normally after a safe abortion.
Most doctors recommend waiting until the next menstrual cycle before attempting another pregnancy.
Contraception After Abortion
Clinics in Turkey offer personalized birth control counseling.
Options include:
-
Oral contraceptive pills
-
Hormonal injections or patches
-
IUDs and implants
-
Barrier methods (condoms, diaphragms)
