What is an Apriration Procedure?

 

At Women's Health and Beyond, we are committed to providing comprehensive reproductive health services to empower individuals in making informed decisions about their health. We are proud to announce our partnership with the University of Illinois Chicago to offer aspiration procedure services, to our community.

 

Aspiration procedure, also known as suction aspiration or suction curettage, is a safe and effective procedure used to terminate early pregnancies. This method is commonly performed during the first trimester (up to 12 weeks) and involves:

 

1. Preparation: The process begins with a consultation where the healthcare provider discusses the procedure, answers any questions, and assesses the patient’s health status.

2. Anesthesia: The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, ensuring the patient is comfortable throughout.

3. Dilation: The cervix is gently dilated to create access to the uterus.

4. Suction: A suction device is used to remove the contents of the uterus, including the fetus and surrounding tissue.The entire process typically lasts about 10-15 minutes, and patients can return home the same day.

 

Benefits of Aspiration Procedure-

• Safety: Aspiration Procedure is considered a very safe procedure, with a low risk of complications.

• Quick Recovery: Most patients can resume normal activities within a day or two.

• High Effectiveness: This procedure has a success rate of over 99% for terminating early pregnancies.

• Confidential Care: We provide a supportive and confidential environment for all our patients, ensuring their privacy and dignity throughout the process.

 

Risks of Aspiration Procedure

While aspiration procedure is a safe procedure, it is essential to be aware of potential risks, which may include:

• Incomplete abortion requiring additional treatment

 

Patients are carefully monitored during and after the procedure to manage any complications swiftly.
