Women's health continues to be our focus!

Medicinal abortion is performed with a special medication. This method is legally permitted in Austria as part of voluntary abortion up to the 9th week.

By taking the drug, an abortion is induced by cancelling the effect of the „corpus luteum hormone” (progesterone). Two days after taking the preparation, it is necessary to administer a prostaglandin (Cyprostol), which stimulates the uterus to expel the pregnancy.

What you need to consider:

Medical abortion is a process that lasts a few days. You experience it consciously. Therefore, the medication abortion is well suited especially for women who want to keep control over their body and refuse a short anesthesia.

The method of medication abortion is medically very well secured and tested. In about 95 - 98% of cases it leads in to the desired effect: the termination of a pregnancy.

Procedure of a medication abortion

First, the gynecological team at Woman & Health will perform a vaginal ultrasound to determine the pregnancy. After that, you will be given the medication to take at our center during a detailed informed consent discussion. 36 to 48 hours after taking the abortion medication, you will take 2 more tablets, placing one on the left and one on the right under your tongue or cheek pouches and letting it melt.

About 3 - 4 hours after this intake, abortion will occur. In any case, you should spend this time at home in peace or stay with us at the center under medical supervision. The accompanying lower abdominal pain is usually very well tolerated with conventional painkillers, which are also used for period pain. It is important that you come to our center for a follow-up ultrasound two weeks after taking the drug to confirm that the pregnancy is completely expelled. This is critical for safe and responsible management of this procedure.
