-
Modern, sterile, and fully equipped clinics
-
Fast and confidential scheduling (no waiting lists)

Before Traveling
-

Abortion Options in Turkey for Patients from Bucharest
Clinics in Turkey offer two internationally approved abortion methods, depending on the pregnancy stage:
-
Medical Abortion (Abortion Pill)
-
Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)
Both are medically safe, effective, and approved by WHO and ACOG.
1. Medical Abortion (Abortion Pill)
Medical abortion is suitable for pregnancies up to 10–11 weeks.
It involves two medications — mifepristone and misoprostol — administered under medical supervision.
-
Mifepristone blocks progesterone, stopping the pregnancy’s progression.
-
Misoprostol induces uterine contractions to naturally expel pregnancy tissue.
The process usually completes within 24–48 hours, similar to a heavy menstrual period.
According to PubMed (2023), medical abortion has a 98% success rate when supervised by a qualified doctor.
Advantages:
-
Non-surgical and private
-
Safe, effective, and quick
-
Minimal side effects and fast recovery
Possible Side Effects:
Mild cramps, fatigue, or nausea may occur. Severe complications (infection or heavy bleeding) are extremely rare (<1%).
2. Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)
Vacuum aspiration is a quick, safe, and pain-free in-clinic procedure, typically 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 the patient can go home within an hour.
Recovery:
Light bleeding or mild cramping may continue for a few days.
Most patients return to normal activity within 24 hours.
Fertility returns within two weeks, so contraception counseling 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 professionals.
Abortion Law in Turkey
Abortion (“kürtaj”) is legal in Turkey up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, with the following conditions:
-
Single women: May decide independently.
-
Married women: Require written spousal consent.
-
After 10 weeks: Permitted only for medical reasons (maternal health or fetal abnormalities).
Clinics strictly follow Turkish Ministry of Health regulations, ensuring every procedure is legal, ethical, and confidential for both Turkish and foreign patients.
Privacy and Confidentiality for Romanian Patients
Privacy is a top priority in all Turkish clinics.
Patient records are confidential and never shared with any third parties.
Romanian-speaking coordinators assist with translation, travel, and comfort during the stay.
Female doctors are available on request, ensuring a comfortable and respectful experience.
After-Abortion Care and Recovery
Physical Recovery
Light bleeding may continue for 7–10 days.
Mild cramps are normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Avoid sexual intercourse, swimming, and tampon use for one week.
Emotional Recovery
Emotional responses vary from relief to temporary sadness or fatigue.
Clinics in Turkey provide post-abortion counseling and emotional support in English or Romanian.
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 are extremely rare — fewer than 1 in 1,000 abortions — when performed in professional medical facilities.
Fertility After Abortion
Safe abortion does not affect fertility or the ability to conceive in the future.
According to PubMed (2023), women who undergo legal and medically supervised abortions can become pregnant again after their next menstrual cycle, once cleared by their doctor.
Contraception After Abortion
Clinics in Turkey provide birth control counseling for all international patients.
Options include:
-
Birth control pills
-
Hormonal injections or patches

IUDs and contraceptive implants

Condoms or barrier methods
