Medical and Surgical Abortion

Abortion is a medically safe procedure that allows women to end an unintended or high-risk pregnancy under professional guidance. The method chosen — **medical (medication-based)** or **surgical (procedure-based)** — depends on the stage of pregnancy, health condition, and personal preferences. Dr. Shrutika Gavhale provides safe, confidential, and compassionate abortion care in accordance with medical guidelines and legal frameworks, ensuring women’s safety, dignity, and reproductive rights.

Medical Abortion

A non-surgical option using prescribed medicines.

• 🌸 Suitable for early pregnancies (usually up to 7–9 weeks)
• 🌸 Involves prescribed tablets to terminate pregnancy
• 🌸 Can be done in outpatient settings with medical supervision
• 🌸 Mimics natural miscarriage with bleeding and cramping
• 🌸 Follow-up is essential to confirm completion

Medical abortion is safe and effective when monitored by a qualified gynecologist.

Surgical Abortion

A safe, minor procedure performed in a hospital/clinic.

Surgical abortion is recommended for later stages of pregnancy, when medical abortion is not effective, or when immediate completion is required.

• 🌺 Performed under local or short general anesthesia
• 🌺 Methods include vacuum aspiration or dilation & curettage (D&C)
• 🌺 Quick procedure (10–20 minutes) with same-day discharge

Surgical abortion is performed in a sterile, safe environment with complete privacy.
