After abortion care
AVA Care of Harrisonburg provides after abortion assessments in Harrisonburg, Virginia. After having any type of medical procedure, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider. This is especially important if you have had an abortion, either by medication abortion (most commonly known as "the abortion pill") or a surgical procedure. If your provider does not offer follow-up care, AVA Care is here for you. It is recommended that you schedule your after abortion assessment four to six weeks after your abortion. This assessment can help detect potential complications that could negatively impact your current health or future fertility.
