Medical Abortion (The Abortion Pill) in Benoni
A medical abortion is a process that involves 2 types of pills used to end an early pregnancy and is generally available up to 12 weeks. The first drug prevents the pregnancy hormone progesterone from supporting the pregnancy to continue, while the second drug causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue, in a similar manner as an early miscarriage within 24 to 48 hours. These abortion pills can be taken in the privacy of the patient’s home with ongoing guidance and help from one of our staff members by phone or WhatsApp throughout. If you experience severe symptoms such as heavy bleeding, intense pain, high fever, or feel unwell, you should contact our clinic immediately or seek emergency medical assistance. Our team is available to provide support and advice if any urgent issues arise.
Surgical Abortion in Benoni
Surgical abortion, also known as an In-clinic abortion, is a short procedure, usually on the same day. It is generally used from 12 to 24 weeks or when medical abortion cannot be used. This is done by a doctor registered with the HPCSA, under local anaesthetic or sedation, and takes 5-10 minutes to complete, with most patients able to go home within a few hours.
Surgical abortion in Benoni is generally recommended once a pregnancy is too advanced for the pill to be effective, or when a patient simply prefers a single same-day procedure over a multi-day medication process. The procedure itself is brief, performed under local anaesthetic or sedation, and most patients are able to rest at the clinic for a short observation period before being discharged home the same day.
Why Choose Us
Abortion Pills
Patients choosing the abortion pill in Benoni are usually able to complete the second stage of the process at home, in their own space, while remaining in phone or WhatsApp contact with the clinic throughout. This is one of the main reasons people prefer the pill over a surgical procedure where it’s medically appropriate — it doesn’t require time off in a clinic bed, and for many patients it feels closer to managing a heavy, early miscarriage than undergoing a hospital procedure.
Cost Of Abortion
The cost of abortion in Benoni depends on how far along the pregnancy is and whether a medical (pill) or surgical procedure is the right option for you — this is confirmed at your consultation, not assumed in advance. Doctor Khan Womens’s Clinic shares full pricing upfront before any procedure is booked, with no hidden add-on fees for the follow-up visit or delivery.
After care
Phone follow-up 1–2 weeks out confirms completion. Fever, heavy bleeding (two soaked pads an hour, two hours running), or severe pain — call immediately, day or night. We are available 24 /7 to assist you incase you need to quickly reach out and resolve any issues.
