Q & A Forum

Medical abortion is a safe and effective method of terminating a pregnancy up to 16 weeks using medication rather than surgery. It works by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is necessary to sustain pregnancy. Without this hormone, the lining of the uterus breaks down, the cervix softens, and bleeding begins. Within a few hours to days after taking the medication, the uterus contracts and empties, ending the pregnancy. In South Africa, abortion is legal, and you do not need the permission of a parent or partner to terminate your pregnancy. After a medical abortion, slight nausea, vomiting, and light bleeding are normal. Medical termination is a safe, quick, and more affordable alternative to surgical abortion, but it should only be done under the guidance of a licensed healthcare provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.
