Why women from London choose Turkey

Many women from London and other UK cities such as Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds travel to Turkey for safe, discreet, and affordable abortion care.
While abortion is legal in the UK, NHS appointments may involve long waiting times, limited availability, or privacy concerns.
Clinics in Turkey offer same-day consultations, English-speaking doctors, and confidential care, providing fast and comfortable service for international patients.

Advantages for UK patients:

  • Affordable pricing compared to private UK clinics

  • No waiting lists or referral requirements

  • English-speaking medical teams

  • Highly experienced and licensed gynecologists

  • Safe, modern medical technology

  • Full confidentiality from consultation to recovery

Travel information for UK patients

Flights from London Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW), or Stansted (STN) to Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) take approximately 3 hours and 50 minutes.
Clinics are 30–45 minutes from both airports and can assist with airport transfers, hotel arrangements, and translation services.

Before traveling:

  • Confirm pregnancy with an ultrasound or blood test in the UK.

  • 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 as required by Turkish law.

Abortion options in Turkey for UK patients

Clinics in Turkey offer two scientifically approved abortion methods depending on gestational week and medical evaluation.

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 progesterone, a hormone necessary for pregnancy.

  • Misoprostol induces uterine contractions to expel pregnancy tissue naturally.

The process typically completes within 24–48 hours and feels like a heavy menstrual period.
According to PubMed (2023), success rates reach 98% when supervised by medical professionals.

Advantages:

  • Non-surgical and private

  • Minimal complications

  • Quick recovery

  • Can be managed discreetly

Possible side effects: mild cramps, nausea, and temporary fatigue.

2. Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)

Surgical abortion, or vacuum aspiration, is a short, in-clinic procedure performed up to 14–16 weeks of pregnancy.

Procedure steps:

  1. Local anesthesia or mild sedation is administered.

  2. The cervix is gently dilated.

  3. A sterile suction device removes the pregnancy tissue.

The entire procedure takes 5–10 minutes, and patients usually return to their hotel within a few hours.
Recovery is fast, with mild bleeding or cramping for a few days.

Safety:
According to 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: require written spousal consent.

  • After 10 weeks: abortion is allowed only for medical reasons such as serious maternal health risks or fetal abnormalities.

All clinics comply with Turkish Ministry of Health regulations and guarantee ethical, legal, and confidential service.

Privacy and confidentiality for British patients

All medical information is securely protected and never shared with third parties.
Clinics maintain strict confidentiality before, during, and after the procedure.
English-speaking coordinators assist UK patients throughout the entire process.
Female doctors are available upon request for patient comfort.

After-abortion care and recovery

Physical recovery:
Light bleeding may last 7–10 days. Mild cramps are normal and can be relieved with simple pain medication. Avoid sexual activity, swimming, or tampon use for one week.

Emotional recovery:
Most women feel relief, though temporary sadness or fatigue is normal. Clinics provide post-abortion counseling and emotional support in English if requested.

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 performed by trained specialists in sterile conditions.

Fertility after abortion

Safe, legal abortion does not affect future fertility.
Most women can safely try to conceive again after their next menstrual period once medically cleared.
Large studies confirm that abortion does not increase risks of infertility, miscarriage, or ectopic pregnancy.

Contraception after abortion

Clinics offer personalized contraception counseling and methods such as:

  • Oral contraceptive pills

  • Hormonal injections or patches

  • IUDs and implants

  • Barrier methods (condoms, diaphragms)

Abortion costs for UK patients

Average prices for international patients:

  • Medical abortion (pill): £260–£520 (€300–€600)

  • Surgical abortion (vacuum aspiration): £440–£880 (€500–€1,000)

Clinics offer transparent, all-inclusive pricing, confidential payment options, and same-day procedures.

  • Direct, short flights from London to Istanbul
