Risks of Unsafe Abortion Treatment

Unsafe or illegal abortion treatment can place a patient’s health and future fertility at serious risk. Many illegal abortion providers in South Africa operate without medical examinations, ultrasound assessments, proper counselling, or follow-up care. In many cases, medication is delivered without the patient ever being examined by a qualified medical professional.

Some illegally supplied “abortion pills” may contain medication intended for other medical conditions, such as stomach ulcers, which can sometimes trigger uterine contractions or miscarriage-like symptoms as a side effect. Without a proper consultation and ultrasound examination, there is no way to confirm whether a patient is medically suitable for a medical abortion or whether the pregnancy is located safely inside the uterus.

Unsafe abortion treatment may lead to serious medical complications, including:

Incomplete abortion or retained products of conception
Severe bleeding requiring emergency medical treatment
Infection of retained pregnancy tissue
Delayed diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy
Infertility or future reproductive complications
Failure of the medication to terminate the pregnancy completely

An ectopic pregnancy is a medical emergency where the pregnancy develops outside the uterus and cannot be treated with abortion medication alone. Without proper medical assessment, ectopic pregnancies can become life-threatening.

At Reproductive Choices SA, all patients receive a consultation, ultrasound assessment, counselling, and follow-up guidance before treatment. Our clinic provides safe, confidential, doctor-led abortion services in Centurion, Gauteng, with patient safety, emotional support, and future reproductive health remaining our highest priorities.

Termination of pregnancy (TOP) is the medical term used to describe abortion. Abortion has been legal in South Africa since 1997 and may only be performed by trained medical professionals at approved clinics or hospitals.
