Question 1

Is abortion legal in Nepal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, abortion was fully legalized in Nepal in 2002 under the Safe Motherhood and Reproductive Health Rights Act. Any pregnant woman in Nepal has the legal right to voluntary abortion up to 12 weeks of pregnancy based on her own choice alone. Under special circumstances (rape, incest, severe fetal abnormalities, or risk to maternal physical/mental health), it is permitted up to 28 weeks. Adult women (18+) do not legally require spousal, partner, or parental consent.

Question 2

Do I need my husband's or parent's permission for an abortion in Nepal?

Accepted Answer

No. Under Nepal law, if you are 18 years of age or older, you have total reproductive autonomy. The medical staff at certified clinics like Khushi Care are legally prohibited from demanding husband or parental consent. You can make this decision independently and confidentially.

Question 3

What is the difference between Abortion Pills and Surgical MVA?

Accepted Answer

Medical abortion uses certified prescription pills (Mifepristone followed by Misoprostol) for pregnancies up to 9–10 weeks. It induces cramping and bleeding at home or in the clinic, resembling a heavy menstrual cycle. Surgical abortion (MVA Suction) is suitable up to 12 weeks, takes only 10–15 minutes in a sterile clinic suite under gentle local sedation, and is verified complete with an immediate ultrasound before you return home.

Question 4

Can I buy abortion pills from an ordinary pharmacy without seeing a doctor?

Accepted Answer

No, this is extremely dangerous and illegal. Unregulated pills bought over the counter often carry incorrect dosages or are counterfeit, leading to severe incomplete abortions, hemorrhage, or missed ectopic pregnancies (pregnancy outside the uterus), which can be fatal. A same-day ultrasound and clinical assessment by a certified gynecologist are medically necessary before taking any abortion medication.

Question 5

Does the abortion procedure hurt? How is pain managed?

Accepted Answer

At Khushi Care Clinic, patient comfort is our highest priority. For surgical MVA, our doctors administer gentle local anesthesia to numb the cervix, along with mild pain-relief medication, so the minor 10-minute procedure is virtually pain-free. For medical abortion pills, patients experience menstrual-like cramps, for which we prescribe safe antispasmodic and pain-relief medications to keep you comfortable.

Question 6

Will an abortion affect my ability to get pregnant or have children in the future?

Accepted Answer

No. When performed by certified female medical professionals in a clean, sterile environment, safe abortion does not harm your future fertility or reproductive health. Your normal menstrual cycle and ovulation typically return within 4 to 6 weeks after the procedure.

Question 7

Will anyone know I had an abortion at Khushi Center?

Accepted Answer

100% no. We maintain absolute confidentiality under medical privacy laws. Your consultation takes place in a private, soundproof suite, and records are never disclosed to family members, employers, or third parties. You are also welcome to use any preferred first name or alias for your visit.

Question 8

How much does an abortion cost at Khushi Clinic?

Accepted Answer

Cost depends on gestational weeks confirmed by ultrasound and the chosen care pathway (medical pills vs. surgical MVA). Khushi Care Clinic follows transparent, ethical, and affordable pricing with zero hidden fees. Everything — doctor consultation, pelvic ultrasound, procedure or medicines, and aftercare checkup — is outlined upfront. Contact our 24/7 helpline or WhatsApp for exact details.

Question 9

Do I need to book an appointment, or can I walk in directly?

Accepted Answer

Both options are available. You are welcome to walk in directly to our clinic at Kalanki Chowk, Kathmandu, anytime between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM, 7 days a week. You can also pre-book a confidential visit via WhatsApp (+977 9866950160) for immediate, zero-waiting priority care.
