No waiting period or bureaucracy

Affordable costs compared to private Italian clinics

Travel information for patients from Milan
Flights from Milan Malpensa (MXP) or Milan Linate (LIN) to Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) take approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.
Clinics in Istanbul are located about 30–40 minutes from the airports. Staff can assist with hotel reservations, airport pickup, and translation support for Italian-speaking patients.
Before traveling:
-
Confirm your pregnancy with an ultrasound or blood test in Italy.
-
Contact the clinic via WhatsApp (+90 541 998 34 34) for consultation and scheduling.

Plan a 2-day trip — consultation and procedure on Day 1, rest and return on Day 2.
-
Bring your passport and, if married, written spousal consent (required under Turkish law).
Abortion options in Turkey for Italian patients
Clinics in Turkey provide two evidence-based abortion methods depending on the stage of pregnancy:
1. Medical Abortion (Abortion Pill)
Medical abortion is recommended for pregnancies up to 10–11 weeks.
It involves two medications — mifepristone and misoprostol — taken under a doctor’s supervision.
-
Mifepristone blocks progesterone, stopping pregnancy progression.
-
Misoprostol triggers uterine contractions to expel the tissue naturally.
The process is completed within 24–48 hours and resembles a heavy menstrual period.
According to PubMed (2023), success rates exceed 98% for early pregnancies when supervised by a healthcare professional.
Advantages:
-
Non-surgical and private
-
Low complication risk
-
Quick recovery
-
Can often be done at home under guidance
Possible side effects: mild cramps, nausea, or fatigue.
2. Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)
Surgical abortion, also known as vacuum aspiration, is a short and safe procedure usually performed up to 14–16 weeks of pregnancy.
Procedure steps:
-
Local anesthesia or mild sedation is applied.
-
The cervix is gently dilated.
-
A sterile suction device removes the pregnancy tissue.
The entire procedure takes 5–10 minutes, and patients are discharged after a short rest period.
Mild cramps or light bleeding may occur for a few days.
Safety:
As stated by UpToDate (2024), vacuum aspiration is among the safest outpatient medical procedures and does not affect future fertility.
Abortion law in Turkey
Abortion (kürtaj) is legal up to 10 weeks of pregnancy.
-
Single women: may decide independently.
-
Married women: must provide written spousal consent.
-
After 10 weeks: abortion is allowed only for medical reasons such as maternal health risk or fetal abnormalities confirmed by physicians.
Clinics operate in full compliance with Turkish Ministry of Health standards and ensure ethical, legal, and private care.
Privacy and confidentiality for Italian patients
All medical and personal data are kept strictly confidential.
Information is not shared with authorities or third parties.
Italian- and English-speaking coordinators are available to assist patients during all stages of care.
Female doctors are also available upon request for those who prefer them.
After-abortion care and recovery
Physical recovery:
Light bleeding may last 7–10 days. Mild cramps can be relieved with painkillers. Avoid sexual intercourse, tampons, or swimming for one week.
Emotional recovery:
Emotional responses vary from relief to temporary sadness. Clinics offer post-abortion counseling and emotional support if needed, in both Italian and English.
Possible complications (very 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 (extremely rare) |
When performed by qualified gynecologists in sterile clinics, serious complications are exceedingly uncommon.
Fertility after abortion
Abortion performed safely has no effect on future fertility.
Women can conceive again after their next menstrual period once medically cleared.
Large PubMed (2023) studies confirm that safe abortion does not increase the risk of infertility or miscarriage.
Contraception after abortion
Clinics provide personalized counseling on birth control options such as:
-
Oral contraceptive pills
-
Hormonal injections or patches
-
IUDs and contraceptive implants
-
Barrier methods (condoms, diaphragms)
