Women’s Med offers both surgical and non-surgical abortions. We can usually schedule your appointment for the pre-abortion visit within a day or two of your call. The procedure will be scheduled during this first visit and is usually just a two or three days later. Remember that the laws in require a pre-abortion visit before termination services can be performed.
Surgical abortion ends a pregnancy by emptying the uterus (womb) with suction or special surgical instruments. Abortions in Ohio are limited to viability, approximately the end of the 22nd week.
Non-surgical abortions are offered through the 70th day of pregnancy. A non-surgical abortion is much like a miscarriage early in a pregnancy. This is accomplished by a woman taking medications that cause the pregnancy to stop, the cervix to dilate and the uterus to contract, pushing the pregnancy out. Mifeprex (RU486, the pill) + misoprostol is used at our center.
