Abortion.
In Germany, around 100,000 women choose to have an abortion each year.
An abortion is legally permitted in Germany up to 14 weeks after the first day of your last menstrual period, following a mandatory counseling session.
Only you can decide whether or not to have an abortion. It's important to know that the earlier an abortion is carried out, the simpler and safer the procedure generally is.
We have been performing abortions in our ambulatory clinic for many years.
We are here to support you and offer personal and confidential counseling.

Which method is right for me?
The medical abortion.
Here's how the medical abortion works:
-
You come to the practice with your counseling certificate and your blood group ID.
-
We examine you, confirm the pregnancy week, and discuss the process of the medical abortion with you and your partner in detail.
-
Together, we begin the abortion process in the clinic by taking the medication.
-
Two weeks after the abortion, we will examine you again to make sure everything went well.

The surgical abortion.
Here's how the surgical abortion works:
-
You come to the practice with your counseling certificate and your blood group ID.
-
We examine you, determine the pregnancy week, and explain the next steps.
-
On the day of the procedure, you will come to our outpatient surgery center, where we perform the abortion under short anesthesia.
-
After the procedure, you will stay for a few hours for monitoring.
-
A companion will pick you up afterward.
-
Two weeks after the abortion, we examine you again to ensure the procedure was successful.
Which medications are used in a medical abortion?
The medications used are Mifepristone and Misoprostol.
Mifepristone blocks the hormone progesterone, which is essential for maintaining pregnancy. Without it, the uterine lining breaks down, and the pregnancy cannot continue.
Misoprostol induces bleeding similar to the period.

We are by your side.
A woman facing an unwanted pregnancy is exposed to many external and internal pressures. There may be social judgments, as well as opinions from family and friends — and of course, your own questions, hopes, wishes, and fears.
In our experience, no woman makes the decision to end a pregnancy lightly. In this situation, a woman needs medical support and non-judgmental information and guidance.
We offer you both.
Need contraception or a check-up?
