Travel information for patients from Prague
Flights from Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) to Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) take about 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Clinics are 30–45 minutes from the airports, and many offer airport transfer services, hotel recommendations, and translation assistance.
Before traveling:
-
Confirm pregnancy with an ultrasound or blood test in the Czech Republic.
-
Contact the clinic via WhatsApp (+90 541 998 34 34) for consultation and appointment.
-
Plan a 2-day visit (consultation and procedure on Day 1, rest on Day 2).
-
Bring your passport and, if married, written spousal consent as required by Turkish law.
Abortion options in Turkey for Czech patients
Clinics in Turkey provide two medical options for pregnancy termination, both approved by WHO and ACOG:
1. Medical Abortion (Abortion Pill)
Medical abortion is suitable for pregnancies up to 10–11 weeks.
It involves taking two medications — mifepristone and misoprostol — under a doctor’s supervision.
-
Mifepristone stops the pregnancy hormone progesterone.
-
Misoprostol induces uterine contractions to expel pregnancy tissue naturally.
The process usually completes within 24–48 hours and feels similar to a heavy menstrual period.
According to PubMed (2023), success rates exceed 98% when managed properly.
Advantages:
-
No surgery or anesthesia
-
Private and discreet
-
Minimal complications
-
Quick recovery
Possible side effects: mild cramping, fatigue, and nausea for a short period.
2. Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)
Surgical abortion, or vacuum aspiration, is a short, safe, and effective procedure 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 pregnancy tissue.
The procedure lasts 5–10 minutes, and patients are usually discharged within an hour.
Most women return to normal activities within 24 hours.
Safety:
According to UpToDate (2024), vacuum aspiration is one of the safest outpatient surgical 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 only allowed for medical reasons, such as maternal health risks or fetal abnormalities.
Clinics in Turkey operate in strict compliance with Turkish Ministry of Health regulations and uphold complete patient confidentiality.
Privacy and confidentiality for Czech patients
Privacy is guaranteed in all stages of treatment.
Medical information is never shared with authorities or third parties.
English- and Czech-speaking coordinators assist patients throughout the entire process.
Female gynecologists are available upon request for those who prefer a female doctor.
After-abortion care and recovery
Physical recovery:
Light bleeding may last up to 7–10 days. Mild cramps are common and manageable with simple pain medication. Avoid sexual intercourse, swimming, or tampon use for one week.
Emotional recovery:
Most women feel relief, while some experience mild emotional fatigue.
Clinics offer post-abortion counseling and emotional support in English or Czech if needed.
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 when the procedure is performed in sterile, accredited clinics by experienced professionals.
Fertility after abortion
Safe abortion does not affect future fertility.
Women can conceive again after their next menstrual cycle once cleared by a doctor.
Studies show no link between safe abortion and infertility or miscarriage.
Contraception after abortion

-
Oral contraceptive pills

Hormonal injections or patches
