Why women from Riga choose Turkey
Many women from Riga, Daugavpils, and Liepāja prefer Turkey for discreet, high-quality, and affordable abortion care. Turkish clinics offer experienced gynecologists, modern facilities, multilingual coordination in English and Russian, fast scheduling without long waiting periods, and strict confidentiality from first contact to recovery.
Travel information from Riga
Direct or one-stop flights operate from Riga International Airport (RIX) to Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). Average travel time is around three to four hours depending on routing. Most clinics are within thirty to forty-five minutes of the airports and can help with hotel suggestions, airport transfers, and translation support. Before you travel, confirm your pregnancy with an ultrasound or blood test in Latvia, contact the clinic via WhatsApp at +90 541 998 34 34 for scheduling and costs, plan a two-day visit with consultation and procedure on day one and rest on day two, bring your passport and, if married, written spousal consent as required by Turkish law.
Abortion options available in Turkey
Two evidence-based options are offered depending on gestational age and your medical evaluation.
Medical abortion (abortion pill) up to 10–11 weeks uses mifepristone followed by misoprostol under medical supervision. The process usually completes within twenty-four to forty-eight hours and resembles a heavy menstrual period. Success in early pregnancy is about ninety-eight percent with proper medical follow-up.
Surgical abortion (vacuum aspiration) up to about 14–16 weeks is performed in clinic with local anesthesia or mild sedation. The cervix is gently dilated and a sterile suction device removes the pregnancy tissue. The procedure takes five to ten minutes and most patients are discharged the same day.
Legal status in Turkey
Abortion is legal up to ten weeks of pregnancy. Single women may decide independently. Married women need written spousal consent. After ten weeks, abortion is permitted only for medical indications such as serious maternal health risks or fetal anomalies documented by physicians.
Privacy and confidentiality for Latvian patients
Clinics guarantee strict confidentiality and never share medical information with third parties. English- and Russian-speaking coordinators assist throughout the process. Female gynecologists can be requested. Communication and recovery are handled discreetly in private settings.
After-abortion care and recovery
Light bleeding may continue for seven to ten days. Mild cramps are common and manageable with pain relief. Avoid sexual intercourse, tampons, and swimming for one week. Contact the clinic promptly if heavy bleeding, fever, or severe pain occurs. Emotional responses vary; most women feel relief, while some experience temporary sadness or fatigue. Clinics provide post-abortion counseling and can offer English or Russian support.
Possible complications
Serious complications are rare when abortion is performed by trained professionals. Heavy bleeding occurs in fewer than one in two hundred cases and is treated with medication or repeat aspiration. Infection occurs in fewer than one in one thousand cases and is treated with antibiotics. Incomplete abortion occurs in fewer than four in one thousand cases and is managed with a follow-up procedure. Uterine injury is very rare.
Fertility after abortion
Safe, legal abortion does not affect future fertility. Most women can try to conceive after their next menstrual cycle once medically cleared.
Contraception after abortion
Clinics provide individualized contraception counseling, including oral pills, hormonal injections or patches, long-acting intrauterine devices or implants, and barrier methods. Your doctor will help you choose a method that fits your health status and preferences.
Costs for international patients
Typical ranges are three hundred to six hundred euros for medical abortion and five hundred to one thousand euros for vacuum aspiration. Clinics provide transparent pricing, private payment options, and same-day appointments.
Why Riga patients prefer clinics in Turkey
Short flights and easy access, internationally trained gynecologists, modern facilities, multilingual support, clear pricing with quick scheduling, and a strong focus on confidentiality and respectful care.
Conclusion
Abortion in Turkey for patients coming from Riga is safe, legal, and confidential. Whether through medical abortion or vacuum aspiration, women receive evidence-based, compassionate care in modern clinics that respect privacy and international standards. Most patients complete treatment with a short two-day visit and return home comfortably.
