An Overview At Our Abortion Procedures | Orlando Women’s Center.

As much as they can be a difficult process to go through with, abortions are an essential medical procedure for many, and a right that all should be entitled to, to have the choice over your own body and life. At the Orlando Women’s Center, we not only do we offer a wide selection of abortion procedures, but on top of this, we offer, as well as offering information on sexual and reproductive health and information on the termination of the method of an unwanted pregnancy. As an industry heavyweight and a first choice for many seeking an Orlando abortion clinic, we have been constantly working to spread information on sexual and reproductive health, as well as making these procedures available to many who would have previously had no option of choice.

Established in 1996 by Founder Dr. James Pendergraft, our clinic has become the primary source of first and second trimester terminations in Orlando, as well as late-term abortion procedures, showing a huge gap in the accessibility of these very essential medical procedures. We believe that no matter who you are, you should have the choice of what you do and do not want to do with your own life and body and realize that there is an endlessly varied list of reasons that individuals decide to go through the procedures that they do. What is important to us is that we provide these procedures with the highest levels of safety and transparency and that our patients are given back this control over their lives that can so often feel lost during situations such as these.

What Procedures Do We Offer?

The One Hour Abortion Pill Procedure:

The one-hour abortion pill procedure is one of our most common treatments. This treatment is ideal for many seeking the termination of an unwanted pregnancy, being far less invasive than a surgical process, as well as this, it is also oftentimes a far less expensive alternative to other methods. In order to be eligible for this specific treatment, you must be between 3-12 weeks into your pregnancy, though there are a number of medical conditions that can also disqualify a patient from using this method, as such it is important to run through pre-existing health conditions in advance, in order to ensure your safety during this process.

Another huge benefit of this treatment for many is its incredibly high rate of effectiveness, being found to have an impressive 98 percent effectiveness rate. This can, of course, be affected by a number of other factors, including the age of the pregnancy, but overall, this process is still found to have an incredibly high success rate. On top of this, 99.9% of our one-hour abortion pill procedures are completed within 24 hours, if not less. Another advantage of this procedure is the fact that patients have reported minimal to no complications or side effects following the process.

The Surgical Abortion Procedures:

As well as offering our medical, one-hour pill abortion procedure, we also offer surgical alternatives to this process. Many favor this procedure due to its quickness, it can be entirely completed and done with within your very first visit to the clinic. For some, the longer and more drawn-out nature of medical termination is unappealing, making this procedure an ideal alternative. For those who chose to undergo this process, we also offer Advanced IV Sedation, a safe, three-minute, painless procedure which while not essential, is still often favored by many of our patients. Advanced IV Sedation provides a rapid onset of sleepiness/drowsiness, as well as a significant reduction in the patient’s nervousness and anxiety levels during this potentially very worrying process.

This fast and painless procedure is quick, with our patients often being dismissed within 45 minutes, allowing you to get on with your life after the fact without dwelling too much on this procedure. While the risks (though uncommon) of carrying out these surgical procedures cause many to become hesitant, we are confident of the safety of our procedures and their side-effects. Though unlikely, these complications can still occur, and we feel that it is important for transparency’s sake to make these clear to any potential patients. These complications can include perforation of the uterus, bladder and bowel injuries, cervical tears, and the risk of possible damage to the fallopian tubes and ovaries. While these complications are very unlikely indeed, they are no doubt an important factor to consider for many who are unsure of what procedure would be best for them.

Sexual and Reproductive Health Information

Along with our variety of abortion procedures, we also think that it is essential to spread information on sexual and reproductive health alongside them. After all, the best way for any woman to avoid this situation altogether is to become informed on these matters, meaning that they will likely not need to use any of our procedures in the future. We supply information for those seeking education regarding unwanted pregnancies and the various termination methods, medical and surgical.

In addition to this, we also provide information on emergency contraception and the various methods’ possible complications and side-effects. We think that knowledge is power and there is no better way to spread this power to educate and inform. This is why we hold this process very near and dear to our hearts, there is no better way to empower than to educate, this is what we aim to do every day in sharing our reproductive and sexual information with any who would care to learn about it in general, as well as our specific methodologies in more depth.

Privacy

At The Orlando Women’s Center, the privacy of our patients is our top priority. We ensure complete and entire privacy and confidentiality during our Same Day Abortion procedure. Our patients do not require a driver or chaperon, and it is is not required for patients who do not wish to remain after taking the medications to stay, rather they are permitted to return the following day or as soon as is possible afterward, so long as they are less than 12 weeks along.

Our Abortion Procedures are proven to be extremely safe and highly effective, and with our genuine care for our patient’s privacy and confidentiality, this should no longer be a concern for those who are hesitant as to whether or not to go ahead with the procedure. Of course, this is a huge choice and we understand that a number of our patient’s stories are incredibly personal and complex, why do not wish to pry into these more than is needed and make our patients uncomfortable or unsafe in any way. Your comfort is at the very top of our list, especially since we understand just how difficult this process can be for so many women for a variety of reasons.
