  Background : Unsafe abortion is still considered as one of the maternal mortalities in developing countries. It’s difficult to get information in countries that induced abortion is forbidden. The purpose of this study was the evaluation of causes and methods of illegal abortion in outpatients.

  

  Method: In this study the women who came to the clinic of Kermanshah medical university between April 2011 till March 2012 were evaluated. Demographic data, cause of abortion, method of contraception and the setting was documented. The information were evaluated with SPSS 17 software after editing.

  

  Findings : The average pregnancy age was 7.34±2.54 weeks. The most important cause of abortion in women below 29 years was the short interval from the previous pregnancy (45.5%, 22 cases), and in women older than 29 years was having enough children (70.2%, 33 cases). None of the women had used the emergency contraception methods.

  

  Conclusion : Abortion was more observed in women with high education and mostly done by midwiferies in the clinics. Suction curettage and vaginal misoprostol were used more. The most important motivation of abortion was the unwillingness to have more children and the short interval between pregnancies.
