Facing an unwanted pregnancy can be overwhelming, confusing and emotionally difficult. Whatever your circumstances, you deserve accurate medical information, safe care and a doctor who treats you with respect – not judgment.
At La Femme Fertility in Wakad, Pune, Dr. Bhagyashri Naphade provides safe, legal and completely confidential pregnancy termination services in accordance with India’s Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act. Every patient receives proper counseling, thorough medical evaluation and compassionate care throughout the process.
Understanding Your Legal Rights
Under the MTP Amendment Act 2021, pregnancy termination is legal in India under specific conditions. Medical termination is permitted up to 20 weeks of pregnancy with one doctor’s approval and up to 24 weeks in certain categories (including minors, survivors of assault and cases of contraceptive failure in married women) with approval from two doctors.
The law also protects your privacy. Your identity and medical records are kept strictly confidential. No one – not your family, not your employer, no one – can access this information without your written consent.
Medical Abortion (up to 9 weeks): Uses a combination of medications (mifepristone and misoprostol) to end the pregnancy without any surgical procedure. This is done under medical supervision with follow-up to confirm completion.
Surgical Abortion (9-20 weeks): A safe, quick procedure performed under sedation. The most common method is vacuum aspiration (MVA), which takes about 10-15 minutes. Hospital stay is typically not required.
For pregnancies beyond 20 weeks, the legal provisions are specific and require medical board approval. Dr. Naphade can counsel you on the available options based on your individual situation.
What to Expect
Your first visit will include a confidential conversation with Dr. Naphade, an ultrasound to confirm the gestational age and basic blood tests. She will explain all available options clearly, answer your questions and help you make the decision that is right for you. There is no pressure toward any particular choice.
After the procedure, you will receive clear instructions for aftercare, medication for pain management and infection prevention and a follow-up appointment within 1-2 weeks to ensure complete recovery. Contraceptive counseling is also offered to help prevent future unplanned pregnancies.
Finding out you are facing an unplanned pregnancy can be an incredibly overwhelming and stressful experience. At our clinic, we believe that every woman has the right to make the best reproductive choices for her own body, life, and future. We provide a completely safe, private, and stigma-free environment where you can discuss your situation openly.
Our primary focus is your physical health and emotional well-being. We ensure you receive accurate medical guidance and compassionate care without ever feeling rushed, pressured, or judged.
Patients from across Wakad, PCMC, Baner, and Pune choose our clinic during these delicate times because we prioritize their dignity and safety above all else. Here is what you can expect:
- Absolute Privacy: Your visits, consultations, and medical records are handled with the strictest confidentiality.
- One-on-One Care: Dr. Naphade personally manages every consultation. You will never be shuffled between different doctors or staff members.

- Compassionate Support: We understand the psychological weight of this situation. Our team creates a quiet, supportive space where you are treated with the utmost empathy and respect.
Depending on how far along you are in the pregnancy and your overall health, we offer safe medical pathways:
- Comprehensive Assessment: Before discussing options, we conduct a private ultrasound and basic health evaluation to confirm the gestational age and protect your safety.
- Medical Termination (Medication): For very early pregnancies, we offer a safe, non-surgical option using prescribed medication. This is a highly effective method that allows the process to take place safely.
- Surgical Termination (Suction Evacuation / D&C): A minor, safe, and quick day-care procedure used for slightly more advanced early pregnancies. It is performed under mild sedation or anesthesia, ensuring you remain completely pain-free. You can typically go home the same day.
- Post-Procedure Recovery: We ensure you are fully supported after your treatment, providing clear recovery instructions and scheduling a follow-up visit to confirm you are healing perfectly.
- Contraceptive Counseling: Whenever you feel ready, we can provide gentle, no-pressure guidance on reliable family planning and birth control methods to give you peace of mind moving forward.

Will abortion affect my future fertility?
A safely performed medical or surgical abortion by a qualified gynecologist does not affect your ability to conceive in the future. Dr. Naphade follows strict clinical protocols to ensure your reproductive health is fully protected.
Is the procedure painful?
Medical abortion causes cramping similar to a heavy period. Surgical abortion is done under sedation, so you will not feel pain during the procedure.
