Laborless Abortion at Parkmed NYC

At Parkmed NYC,  we understand that choosing to have an abortion is a deeply personal decision. Our compassionate and experienced staff in New York City is here to guide and support you throughout the process. We are proud to offer laborless abortion options, which are safe and effective choices for terminating an early pregnancy. Below, you’ll find detailed information about laborless abortion options and what to expect when choosing Parkmed NYC.

Medication Abortion

Medication abortion, also known as the abortion pill, is a non-invasive method of ending a pregnancy up to 10 weeks gestation. The process involves taking two medications, mifepristone and misoprostol, which work together to block the hormones necessary for pregnancy and cause the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue.

The Medication Abortion Process at Parkmed NYC:

  1. Initial Consultation and Assessment: Our experienced healthcare providers will first conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, perform a physical examination, and use ultrasound to confirm the gestational age of the pregnancy. This information helps us determine if medication abortion is the appropriate option for you.
  2. Informed Consent and Counseling: We will provide you with detailed information about the medication abortion process, including its benefits, risks, and potential side effects. Our compassionate counselors are also available to discuss your emotional well-being and provide support throughout the decision-making process.
  3. Administration of Medications:
    1. Mifepristone: You will take the first medication, mifepristone, at our clinic. This medication blocks the hormone progesterone, which is necessary for the pregnancy to continue.
    2. Misoprostol: You will take the second medication, misoprostol, at home 24-48 hours after taking mifepristone. Misoprostol causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue.
  4. Follow-up Appointment: A follow-up appointment at Parkmed NYC is scheduled within one to two weeks after taking the medications to ensure the abortion is complete and to address any concerns or complications.

What to Expect:

Medication abortion is a safe and effective method for ending an early pregnancy. Some common side effects include cramping, bleeding, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue. Over-the-counter pain relievers and heating pads can help alleviate discomfort. Our healthcare providers will provide you with detailed instructions on managing these side effects and when to seek medical attention.

Aspiration or Suction Abortion

Aspiration abortion, also referred to as suction abortion, manual vacuum aspiration (MVA), or suction curettage, is a safe and effective method for ending a pregnancy in the first trimester (up to 14 weeks gestation). This procedure involves using gentle suction to remove the pregnancy tissue from the uterus.

The Aspiration Abortion Process at Parkmed NYC:

  1. Initial Consultation and Assessment: Our experienced healthcare providers will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including a review of your medical history, a physical examination, and an ultrasound to confirm the gestational age of the pregnancy.

  2. Informed Consent and Counseling: We will provide you with detailed information about the aspiration abortion process, including its benefits, risks, and potential side effects. Our compassionate counselors are also available to discuss your emotional well-being and provide support throughout the decision-making process.
  3. Preparing for the Procedure: Prior to the aspiration abortion, your healthcare provider may administer medication to soften and dilate your cervix. You will also be given the option of pain management methods, such as local anesthesia or sedation, to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
  4. The Aspiration Abortion Procedure: Your healthcare provider will gently insert a speculum into your vagina to access your cervix. A thin tube called a cannula is then inserted through the cervix into the uterus. Gentle suction is applied to remove the pregnancy tissue. The entire procedure typically takes 10-15 minutes.
  5. Post-Procedure Care and Follow-up: After the aspiration abortion, you will be monitored in our recovery area to ensure your well-being. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions and schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure your recovery is progressing smoothly.

Abortion with Dilation and curettage (D&C)
