SofTouch® is noninvasive and natural. If you plan to become pregnant in the future- at the time that is right for you- SofTouch® will not impact your chances of conceiving. SofTouch® is more like getting a pap test than a surgical procedure. Only soft instruments are used and you are awake, so you can eat or drink normally before and after your visit. It is done in a regular exam room, a companion is welcome by your side, and there is a quick recovery
There’s a reason this method is called SofTouch®. It’s a gentle, noninvasive procedure performed with a soft touch by our highly trained physicians. The medical term for SofTouch is Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA). SofTouch® is a branded name for providing MVA in a regular doctor’s office setting. Harvard-trained physician, Doctor Joan Fleischman, developed SofTouch® in order to normalize the early abortion experience. SofTouch® can also be used to treat an early miscarriage, or to treat an incomplete surgical abortion.
How is it done? SofTouch® (MVA) is completed with a small device called an aspirator which fits in the palm of a doctor’s hand. One of our physicians gently inserts a soft, flexible tube through the natural opening of your cervix and applies light pressure, releasing the pregnancy. The procedure lasts about 2-5 minutes with minimal discomfort, and most women feel capable of resuming their normal activities within 15 minutes.
SofTouch® vs. Abortion Pill. Most women who come to Early Options® choose the SofTouch method because it has many advantages over the Abortion Pill. SofTouch® is nearly 100% effective, compared to the Abortion Pill which is 96-98% effective. SoftTouch is completed in one visit and our patients leave the office knowing that the pregnancy is over. Compared to the Abortion Pill, there is less cramping and bleeding and pregnancy symptoms subside more quickly

Ending Early Pregnancy The Natural Way in Manhattan New York
When it comes to ending your pregnancy, the earlier you are, the more options you have. A pregnancy is considered early if you’ve missed a period or two. At this time, your body is primarily preparing for pregnancy and it’s too soon to tell if it is viable.
We’re a private practice that simplifies your medical care by providing natural, noninvasive options: SofTouch®, a type of manual aspiration procedure, and the Abortion Pill. These methods are endorsed by The World Health Organization (WHO) as the two safest ways to end early pregnancy.
When you make an appointment at Early Options®, you do not need to decide which method you will choose. You can speak with one of our doctors to help you decide which method is best for you.
