Types of Surgical Abortion Procedures
We offer several surgical abortion methods, including aspiration abortion, dilation and evacuation (D&E), and induction abortion. Here’s a brief overview of what patients from Texas can expect:
- Aspiration Abortion: This in-clinic procedure is available up to 17 weeks. It involves gentle suction to empty the uterus and typically takes less than 10 minutes.
- Dilation and Evacuation (D&E): Recommended from 18 to 25 weeks, this procedure may require one or two appointments. On the first day, medications or dilators prepare your cervix. The next day, the surgical abortion is performed, often lasting 15–20 minutes. Sedation and pain management ensure your comfort.
- Induction Abortion: For pregnancies beyond 25 weeks, we offer induction abortion, a safe and supportive process for later gestations.
