Surgical
Abortion Services:
Making your appointment.
When you call to schedule, one of our nurses will talk with
you to obtain pertinent medical information. She will also prepare
you for the appointment and give you the necessary instructions.
Before your appointment.
Shower or bath as usual and dress comfortably. You may eat a
light meal 1-2 hours before your appointment, if you would like.
At your appointment.
You must have a driver due to the sedation you will receive.
When you arrive, you will complete some medical forms then have
an ultrasound to determine how long you have been pregnant.
Dr. Rosenfeld will meet with you and perform an examination.
You will talk with one of our registered nurses who will explain
the procedure, aftercare and medications. Any questions or concerns
can be addressed at any time during your visit. At your request,
your support person may be included in these discussions but
is not permitted during the procedure. You will receive IV sedation
that will make you very comfortable and relaxed. In fact, some
women remember very little of the procedure. The abortion procedure
takes only a few minutes, using gentle aspiration or suction
to empty the uterus. You will rest in a private room with your
support person at your side. All post-operative medications
will be given to you as well as written instructions.
After care.
Most women are able to return to daily activities the following
day. Avoid strenuous activity for a few days to prevent unnecessary
pain or bleeding. Most women do experience some spotting or
bleeding that may last only a few days or as long as 2 weeks.
To prevent infection, we advise not to put anything in the vagina
(tampons, intercourse, douching) for 3 weeks. We are happy to
provide a 3 week check up at no charge or your may see your
own physician. Most importantly, if you are experiencing heavy
bleeding, fever or pain, call our office immediately. We are
available 24 hours a day for urgent medical calls from our patients.
Contraception.
We will discuss options for birth control at your visit. Dr.
Rosenfeld offers the most current effective methods available.
In addition to birth control pills and Depo Povera, we offer
Mirena
the intrauterine system used by 2 million women in Europe, Nuvaring
the monthly ring, and the contraceptive patch
Ortho
Evra.
Safety.
Abortion is considered one of the safest surgical procedures
when performed by a skilled physician. Dr. Rosenfeld has over
30 years of experience and his goal is to provide the best medical
care in order to protect your future fertility.
