Surgical Abortion Options Explained
VAG Clinic offers several in-clinic abortion care services to meet your needs, including:
- Aspiration abortion (up to 17 weeks)
- Dilation and evacuation (D&E) for pregnancies from 18 to 25 weeks
- Induction abortion (26 to 34 weeks, in select circumstances)
For D&E, our most common surgical abortion procedure for pregnancies between 18 and 25 weeks, the process involves gentle dilation of the cervix followed by safe removal of pregnancy tissue using a combination of medical instruments and gentle suction. The procedure itself typically takes 15–20 minutes, and our team is attentive to your physical and emotional comfort throughout.
If you’re unsure how far along you are, our pregnancy calculator can help estimate gestational age before you call or schedule an appointment.
