According to current legislation, a woman can choose to terminate her pregnancy until the end of the 11th week of pregnancy. At Capio Private Hospital, we provide surgical abortions performed by experienced gynecology specialists in a safe environment with a short waiting time.

High patient satisfaction
Induced abortion can be either a medical abortion or a surgical abortion by excision/extraction of the uterine cavity. Medical abortion is especially recommended before the 9th week of pregnancy, while surgical abortion is often preferred from the 9th to 11th full week.
At Capio, we only offer surgical abortion, which is performed on an outpatient basis with discharge a few hours after the procedure. If you wish to have a medical abortion, we must refer you to the public hospital system, where emergency hospitalization is available in case of heavy bleeding or pain, which sometimes occurs in connection with medical abortion.
Before surgery
In connection with the preliminary examination, a gynecological examination with ultrasound scan is performed to determine the length of the pregnancy. A request for termination of pregnancy must be signed.
Operations
The curettage is performed under general anesthesia and medication is administered to contract the uterus. The doctor dilates the cervix and inserts a plastic tube into the uterus. The pregnancy is then sucked out. The whole procedure takes about 10 minutes.
After surgery
After the procedure, you'll be taken to the ward where you'll be monitored until you're ready to be picked up - usually after a few hours. Once you've been under general anesthesia, you won't be allowed to drive yourself home and you'll need adult supervision for the first 24 hours. You may experience mild pain after the procedure, and you will be given painkillers to take home for the first three days after surgery. It is common for you to have bleeding similar to a normal menstrual period for about a week. After that, it will decrease, but you should expect to bleed for 2-3 weeks.
If you experience sudden acute pain, contact your general practitioner or the emergency doctor if it's outside of doctor's office hours.
Back surgery at Capio
I had lower back surgery at Capio Hellerup over a year ago. I have been incredibly happy with the treatment I received during my hospitalization by both doctors and nurses and the follow-ups they gave me. Huge praise from here.
Hip replacement surgery
I had surgery on Wednesday, December 13th at Capio Aalborg and despite the circumstances, I had a good stay where I got answers to all my questions. I met a staff with great competence and empathy, so I can only give my best recommendations.
Thank you very much for everything.
