Why women from Munich choose Turkey
Many women from Munich and other German cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, and Frankfurt travel to Turkey for private, affordable, and safe abortion services.
While abortion is legal in Germany, it requires mandatory counseling and a three-day waiting period, which can create stress and delay. In contrast, Turkish clinics offer same-day procedures, multilingual care, and strict confidentiality, ensuring that patients receive fast, respectful, and comfortable medical support.
Advantages for patients from Munich:
-
Affordable pricing compared to private clinics in Germany
-
No waiting time or bureaucratic delays
-
Full confidentiality and privacy
-
German- and English-speaking staff
-
Highly experienced gynecologists
-
Modern and accredited medical facilities
Travel information for patients from Munich
Flights from Munich Airport (MUC) to Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) take about 2 hours and 30 minutes.
Clinics are located within 30–45 minutes of both airports. Most clinics offer airport transfer assistance, hotel recommendations, and multilingual support for international patients.
Before traveling:
-
Confirm pregnancy with an ultrasound or blood test in Munich.
-
Contact the clinic via WhatsApp (+90 541 998 34 34) to schedule your appointment.
-
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 German patients
Clinics in Turkey provide two safe and effective options depending on gestational week:
1. Medical Abortion (Abortion Pill)
Medical abortion is suitable for pregnancies up to 10–11 weeks and involves two medications — mifepristone and misoprostol — taken under medical supervision.
-
Mifepristone stops the pregnancy hormone progesterone.
-
Misoprostol causes uterine contractions to expel the pregnancy tissue naturally.
The process completes within 24–48 hours and feels similar to a heavy menstrual period.
According to PubMed (2023), success rates exceed 98% when supervised by a healthcare provider.
Advantages:
-
Non-surgical and discreet
-
Quick recovery
-
Private and safe
-
Low complication rate
Possible side effects: temporary cramps, mild nausea, or fatigue for 1–2 days.
2. Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)
Surgical abortion, or vacuum aspiration, is performed up to 14–16 weeks of pregnancy.
Procedure steps:
-
Local anesthesia or mild sedation is used.
-
The cervix is gently dilated.
-
A sterile suction device removes the pregnancy tissue.
The entire procedure lasts 5–10 minutes, and patients can go home shortly afterward.
Light bleeding and mild cramps may last for a few days.
According to UpToDate (2024), vacuum aspiration is one of the safest outpatient procedures and has no impact on future fertility.
Abortion law in Turkey
Abortion (kürtaj) is legal up to 10 weeks of pregnancy under the following conditions:
-
Single women can decide independently.
-
Married women must provide written spousal consent.
-
Beyond 10 weeks, abortion is allowed only for medical reasons such as maternal health risks or fetal abnormalities confirmed by doctors.
All clinics operate in full compliance with Turkish Ministry of Health regulations and maintain strict confidentiality for both local and foreign patients.
Privacy and confidentiality for German patients
Privacy is a top priority in all Turkish clinics.
Patient information is never shared with authorities or third parties.
German- and English-speaking staff are available to guide patients throughout the process.
Female gynecologists can be requested upon preference.
Appointments and recovery are handled with the highest discretion.
After-abortion care and recovery
Physical recovery:
Light bleeding for 7–10 days is normal. Mild cramps can be treated with pain relief medication. Avoid sexual intercourse, swimming, and tampon use for one week.
Emotional recovery:
Most women feel relief, while some may experience temporary sadness or fatigue. Clinics provide emotional support and counseling in German and English if desired.
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 qualified gynecologists under sterile conditions.
Fertility after abortion
Abortion performed safely has no effect on fertility.
Most women can become pregnant again after their next menstrual cycle once cleared by their doctor.
Extensive PubMed (2023) research confirms no link between safe abortion and infertility.
Contraception after abortion
Clinics offer counseling and contraception options including:
-
Oral contraceptive pills
-
Hormonal injections or patches
-
IUDs and contraceptive implants
-
Barrier methods (condoms, diaphragms)
