Other tests which may be indicated include a PAP smear, chlamydia test and test for vaginal infections. Abortion procedures are performed at the clinic by experienced physicians using the vacuum aspiration method under local anesthesia. This method is the safest, simplest and most modern method for women to terminate a pregnancy. A few patients are too far along in their pregnancy to have an abortion performed at Midwest. If this is determined at the time of examination, the counseling staff will review alternatives with the patient and make appropriate referrals.
Sedation is available for an additional fee.
