Medical abortion

 Medical abortion in Ukraine is legally permitted at the request of a woman, as well as other types of medical abortion up to 12 weeks, if performed in a licensed health care facility. This is one of the most modern and effective methods of early termination of pregnancy using medication instead of surgery. This service is now available in Mykolaiv.

Specifics and features of the procedure in the ZDRAVO clinic

Initial consultation: The first step is a consultation with a specialist. During the visit, the doctor will get acquainted with the patient's medical history, perform an ultrasound examination to confirm the gestational age and discuss the procedure.

The minimum set of necessary tests includes:

 1.Ultrasound scan: To confirm that the pregnancy is within the first 10 weeks.

2.Blood tests: To check for anemia, blood type, Rh factor, and any potential infections.

The procedure involves the use of two drugs:

Mifepristone: This medication blocks the hormone progesterone, which is necessary for pregnancy to continue.

Misoprostol: Taken 24-48 hours after mifepristone, it causes the uterus to contract and push out pregnancy tissue.

After taking the drug, most women experience cramping and bleeding for several hours. Usually, the process is completed 4-6 hours after taking misoprostol, although in some cases, bloody discharge can last for several weeks.
