Abortion Pill Treatment ( Medical Abortion ) In Cape Town
During a medical abortion, two separate pills are taken to end the pregnancy. A medical abortion can be done at home and at a time that suits you. Medical abortion provides you with some privacy and control.
Before deciding to do a medical abortion, it’s important to know how to prepare and any side effects or complications that may occur during the process.
- heavy cramping and pain
- Viginal bleeding
- Gastrointestinal Symptoms

What are the risks and complications?
Most women who have a medical abortion have no problems, however it is important to understand that there are some risks involved. These can include the following:
- pain because of an infection
- ongoing bleeding
- pregnancy tissue remaining in the uterus.
If any of the above happens, it is important to get treatment as early as posible to stop a serious illness. Severe complications are rare and very heavy bleeding requiring treatment is not common.
After the procedure
Every day, the amount of bleeding will decrease. It could continue for up to 30 days and last for 10–16 days.
Avoid putting anything in your vagina for 14 days following the abortion. This lowers the risk of infection. This includes no:
- tampons or menstrual cups. Use pads instead
- viginal sex
- swiming, however, showering is safe
