Fake Abortion Clinics & Abortion Pills Scam

Posted by Reproductive Healthcare Society of Malaysia on December 28, 2021

Fake abortion clinics misrepresented abortion service, lied to their victims and often use malicious language to scare women and prevent them from having abortions. They trap abortion-seekers by claiming to provide “all options” to end unintended pregnancies but it turns out that they offer diversion (e.g hormonal treatment and wrong medications, fake abortion pills, etc) that caused complications during abortion.

Most of the fake abortion clinics were set up by scammers impersonating doctors, anti-abortion nurses, unethical doctors, general practitioners and ultrasound technicians. They seek to target women who are financially desperate, particularly uneducated low-income women, teenagers, low-skilled foreign workers and women with no relatives or family support.

Several undercover surveillance revealed that these fake abortion clinics tend to lure victims by giving them the impression that they provide “cheap or free treatments”, pregnancy tests, testing for sexually transmitted infections, and “all options” for unintended pregnancy. Some scammers are using various tactics to convince their victims to buy abortion pills via COD by providing them with fake pills or cloned generic medications.

Some fake abortion clinics set up by anti-abortion doctors often trap women to prevent them from having an abortion, which leads to adoption, forced parenting, selling babies, and human trafficking. Although clear evidence has revealed that abortion is safer than childbirth, these anti-abortion agenda will continue portray it as a dangerous or even deadly.

Buying Abortion Pills in Malaysia: How much is the price of abortion pills in Malaysia?

With the rising of fake abortion pills for sale online causing deaths, beware of anti-abortion fake news over the misleading media circulated by the Malaysian article claiming that abortion-pill price in Malaysia is ‘EXPENSIVE’ …and that the cost is triple than the ‘actual cost’. We investigated their claims and found that the article was written with lack of understanding through ignorant comparison between gastric medicine vs actual abortion pills.

Quoting an article from a Malaysian online ‘newspaper’ site:

“Meanwhile, Mifeprex is priced at US$45 (about RM190) per pill on many US-based websites. One free advertisement website even priced Mifeprex at RM580, which is 66% more than the retail price quoted on a US drug retail website.”

How much does it cost to buy abortion pills in Malaysia compared to United States?

In United States, financial cost ranges from approximately $300 – $800 (RM1180 up to around RM3500). Factors that affect the cost of abortion-pills include:

Lab tests & medical-paperwork
Doctor’s access
On-call consultation & follow-up charges
Pregnancy stages

American Pregnancy Association http://americanpregnancy.org/unplanned-pregnancy/abortion-pill/

The abortion-pill providers are considering all safety measures for a successful abortion. Since medical-abortion is entirely a home procedure, doctors are highly dedicated to work day & night to keep up with the patients by phone. Similarly, factors that effect the abortion-pill price in Malaysia is exactly as mentioned above.

To buy abortion pills in Malaysia, it is important to know that women should opt for the actual abortion pills which includes proper dose of Mifepristone and Misoprostol instead of gastric medicines. There are plenty of fake abortion pills being circulated online.

Commonly, most people find a brand called as Cytotec (approved by the Malaysia Ministry of Health for the treatment of gastric) but has been misused for abortion.

The cost of gastric-pill (Cytotec) is only RM6-7 per tablet but the effectiveness is not guaranteed. Most of the pills advertised online are fake with fabricated testimonials to convince gullible women. There has been a very alarming rate of failed abortion caused by fake gastric pills and these women has to undergo a costly surgical procedure to end their pregnancies. Improper dose of gastric pills can lead to fatal complications and can cause death!

Why Some International Women-Rights Organizations Provide Abortion-Pills at Below- Rate?

That depends on how and where the medicine is sourced. Most women-rights organizations in Europe could provide abortion pills at cheapest rate since the medicines are obtained in countries that has legalised abortion. Unlike these countries, abortion providers in Malaysia are still struggling with restrictive procedures and access to highly-qualified surgeons to perform surgical abortion. Even so, abortion-pills are made available in Government hospitals but limited to women who adhere to the abortion law in Malaysia: if a pregnancy can endanger health and to save a woman’s life.

Recovery After Medical Abortion

Posted by Reproductive Healthcare Society of Malaysia on September 5, 2015

Recovery duration after a successful abortion is different for every woman, and will depend on the pregnancy stages (gestation) when the abortion occurs. Most women will recover quickly within a few days, some women take several weeks to recover. However, most women can return to work as normal after a few days.

We would recommend you to delay from returning to work until after the medical abortion is complete as you will have cramping and bleeding. This is usually within 1-2 days after taking the Misoprostol tablet or longer depending on your how your body respond to the medication. Do not force yourself until you are fully recovered.

Bleeding
After a medical abortion, you’ll experience bleeding, cramping and you may see a large blood clot. The abortion may take a few hours and it is usually completed within 1-3 days. Once the pregnancy has been passed, your bleeding will usually lessen and become like a slightly heavier period. It may continue to be quite heavy for a day or two as the uterus needs to contract and return to its normal condition.

Abdominal Cramp
Most women experience intermittent cramping after an abortion. This usually lasts for about a week and can be managed with hot packs, Ibuprofen and Celebrex. These painkillers can be purchased at pharmacies.

Unstable Emotions
After a successful abortion, it’s completely normal to experience a range of feelings such as relief, guilt, regret and sadness. For most women, these feelings fade after a few weeks or months. We recommend that you have someone with you after your abortion to talk to. We offer free, private counseling for all our clients who’ve had abortion, for as many sessions as needed.

Other Tips for Speedy Recovery?
Recovery usually happens quite quickly but there are some things you can do to make the experience easier, and also symptoms to look out for.

Sexual Intercourse
Do not to have sexual intercourse for at least 2 weeks after an abortion to minimize the risk of infection. This is for your wellbeing, as it gives your body the best chance to recover after your treatment. If you do not use contraception on your sexual intercourse, then you are at risk of a getting pregnant again.

Pregnancy Test
Make sure you take a pregnancy test to check your treatment has been successful. A routine check-up is not necessary after a successful medical or surgical abortion. We advise you to take a pregnancy test (not later than 4 weeks) after your abortion to ensure that it’s successful. It is best to go for an ultrasound test 10 days after a completed abortion.

Excercise
Do not exercise for 2 weeks. Swimming, team sports, going to the gym, horse riding or heavy physical work can all increase bleeding. If you have toddler children, try not to carry them more than necessary for the first few days – particularly up and downstairs.

Alcohol
We advise you not to drink alcohol for 48 hours following your treatment. Alcohol can increase the risk of heavy bleeding and lessen the chance of quick recovery.

Leaking Breasts
This is quite common following an abortion. Your body has been preparing for the pregnancy for a few weeks and your breasts will have enlarged to produce milk to for breastfeeding. It will take a while to get back to normal and during this time your breasts may leak.

Breastfeeding
Unlike surgical abortion, you will not be able to breastfeed for 5 hours after taking the second set of tablets. You may press some milk before taking the dose until you are well enough to continue breastfeeding.

The Medical Abortion

Posted by Reproductive Healthcare Society of Malaysia on September 5, 2015

What is the medical abortion?
“Medical abortion” is using pills to terminate a pregnancy, it’s a non-surgical method using a combination of Mifepristone & Misoprostol to end a pregnancy naturally. This procedure can be done safely at home. In general, it’s used up to 63 days (9 weeks) — after the first day of a woman’s last period.

What is the success rate?
It’s highly recommended during the 1st trimester pregnancy where 99.9% women who had medical abortions within 9 weeks pregnancy had successfully terminated their pregnancy without undergoing costly surgery.

Can I purchase it at any pharmacy or clinic?
No. Although Mifepristone is FDA-approved, the Ministry of Health in Malaysia does not recognize the sale of abortion pills for public. As a result, women who suffered from accidental pregnancies had to risk their lives by dealing with scammers, fake doctors, online illegal drug smugglers and impostors. Under the initiatives of international women-rights activists, legal advisors and pro-choice gynaecologists, SafeParenthood was funded under a coalition of family planners in Malaysia to provide a private and safe approach to end unwanted births while reaching out all women under such distressful situation. This initiative aims to provide a non-judgmental platform for safe abortion, medical access and family planning solutions for all women regardless of their social backgrounds & marital status.

Can I use Cytotec for abortion without Mifepristone?
No. A gastric medication known as “Cytotec” which primary function is to treat gastric ulcer BUT most women abuse it for abortion. It was known to cause birth defects, incomplete abortion, premature labor and rupture of the cervix. A safe and effective medical abortion is through a combination of Misoprostol & Mifepristone with appropriate dosage based on pregnancy size. Clinical research has concluded that using Cytotec alone for abortion is complicated and risky, the rate of medical failure is high (only 50-60% chance of abortion) will cause women to end up with costly surgical procedure later on. Unscrupulous doctors will exploit this situation by recommending inadequate dose of Cytotec, knowing that the failure rate is high and will coerce women to opt for costly surgery.

Can I consume the abortion pill at home?
Yes. This procedure is 8 times safer than childbirth labor. In fact, using the abortion medication is much easier compared to other prescribed medicines. You will be given a complete dosage instruction with guidelines for private usage at home.

Day 1 — Mifepristone (1 tablet orally)
This is the main requirement for abortion. Mifepristone works by blocking the progesterone hormones. Without progesterone, the lining of the uterus breaks down, and pregnancy cannot continue.

Day 2 — Misoprostol (4 tablets per dose, then repeat after 5 hours)
You need to consume this medicine on the second day after the Mifepristone dosage. Misoprostol cleanse the uterus by flushing the embryo out.

Do I need a doctor check-up after the abortion?
No. If your pregnancy is normal and you’re currently healthy, the medical abortion will not cause any illness or complications. Some women with anemia might experience a severe blood loss & dehydration, they need to go to clinic for a medical supervision. Do not consume other drugs or alcohol during the abortion process. After a successful abortion, advisable to wait for 14 days before an ultrasound to ensure that your uterus has expelled the thick layer of residues, tissues and blood clots.

Is it painful to use abortion pill?
Most women don’t feel anything after consuming Mifepristone. The second medicine (Misoprostol) — will cause you to have cramps and bleed heavily. Some women may begin bleeding before taking the next medicine on Day 2. But for most, the bleeding and cramping begin after consuming Misoprostol on Day 2. It usually lasts a few hours. You may see large blood clots or tissue at the time of the abortion. Most women abort within 6-8 hours after consuming Misoprostol. For others, it takes longer (abortion should occur in 3 days). It’s normal to have some bleeding or spotting for up to four weeks after the abortion. Only use pads for bleeding after an abortion for sanitary care. During the abortion, you will experience:

temporary abdominal cramps

nausea or vomit

mild fever or colds

dizziness

diarrhea

Can I use a pain-reliever to heal my cramps?
Not necessary. However, Acetaminophen (like Tylenol) or Ibuprofen (like Advil) can reduce most of these symptoms. They’re available at most pharmacies under trade name Nurofen, Diclofenac or Tylenol. Do not use Aspirin, as it will heal a cramp but causes heavier bleeding. You may feel more at ease if you have a trusted partner, friend or loved one with you during the abortion.

How do I know if the abortion is successful or not?
Abortion is completed when the embryo is expelled from the uterus. You can see when the embryo comes out during the bleeding process (usually in a few hours or up to 3 days). Depending on the pregnancy stage, the embryo is expelled in various size & shapes along with tissues & blood. The image below illustrates miscarriage at 5th week:
