03
Voluntary termination of pregnancy
First answers about the process, methods and recovery.
What methods exist to terminate a pregnancy?+
The main options are medical abortion, using medication, and surgical abortion, carried out in an accredited healthcare centre. The appropriate option depends on the gestational age, medical assessment and your preferences.
How are weeks of pregnancy calculated?+
They are usually counted from the first day of the last menstruation and confirmed by clinical assessment and ultrasound when indicated.
Is it legal to abort in Spain?+
Yes. Current legislation allows interruption at the woman's request within the first 14 weeks and contemplates other medical cases with specific conditions.
Is there still a mandatory reflection period?+
No. The 2023 legal reform eliminated the mandatory three-day period.
How do I know which method is right for me?+
After confirming the gestation period and reviewing your medical history, the team will explain the available options, their development and follow-up.
What happens next?+
You will receive specific instructions on recovery, expected symptoms, warning signs and follow-up. If anything concerns you, contact the team without waiting for your scheduled review.
How much does it cost?+
The cost depends on factors such as gestational age, the method used and whether anaesthesia or sedation is required. Contact the centre to receive updated information and find out what the budget includes.
04
Contraception, IUD and implant
Common doubts when choosing or changing contraceptive method.
How do I choose the best contraceptive method?+
There is no perfect method for everyone. We value your health, preferences, menstrual pattern, reproductive plans and ease of use to compare alternatives.
Can the IUD be used if I have not had children?+
Yes, it can be an option. The decision depends on individual assessment, not only on having had children.
What is the difference between the copper and hormonal IUD?+
The copper one does not contain hormones and the hormonal one releases progestin. They can have different effects on bleeding and the choice must be individualised.
Does it hurt to insert an IUD?+
Experience varies. May cause menstrual-type discomfort or pain; Before placing it, measures to improve comfort can be assessed.
What changes can the implant cause?+
The most common is the modification of bleeding: it can become irregular, scarcer, prolonged or disappear. We will explain what to expect before choosing it.
Can I remove the IUD or implant before its life ends?+
Yes. Both are reversible and can be removed if you want to become pregnant, want to change the method or do not adapt well.
Do these methods protect against sexually transmitted infections?+
No. The IUD, the implant and hormonal contraceptives do not protect against STIs. To reduce this risk, condoms are recommended.
05
Medical follow-up
Because care continues after the consultation or procedure.
Do I always have to return to the centre?+
Not necessarily. Follow-up can be in person, by telephone or include specific tests, depending on the process and the team's assessment.
What do I do if I have a question before the review?+
Contact the centre. Do not wait for the scheduled appointment if a symptom appears, your progress is not as expected or something worries you.
Can I change contraceptive during follow-up?+
Yes. We will review the adaptation and, if the method does not suit you, we will consider alternatives.
When should I go to the emergency room?+
Follow the red flags indicated in your report. In the event of severe pain, very heavy bleeding, persistent fever, fainting, difficulty breathing, or significant worsening, seek urgent care.
