Abortion Services in Gangnam
Understanding Abortion Care
Abortion is a personal and often difficult decision involving the termination of a pregnancy. At our Gangnam women's health clinic, we provide safe, confidential, and compassionate abortion care, respecting every woman’s right to make choices about her own body and health. Our team offers professional medical guidance and emotional support throughout the process.
Types of Abortion Services We Offer
We offer both medical and surgical abortion options depending on your pregnancy stage, health needs, and personal preference:
- Medical Abortion:
Early pregnancy termination using medication (up to 9–10 weeks gestation). It involves taking prescribed pills under a doctor’s supervision to safely end the pregnancy at home or under clinical observation. - Surgical Abortion:
A quick, in-clinic procedure typically recommended for pregnancies beyond the early weeks. Methods such as vacuum aspiration or dilation and curettage (D&C) are used, ensuring safety and minimal discomfort.
Your doctor will explain all available options clearly and help you choose the safest and most appropriate method for your situation.
