Patient's question:
I am 25 years old, female, and I went for a check-up and found out I am pregnant. I haven't been pregnant for long. I am wondering whether it is better to have a natural miscarriage or an induced abortion in the early stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion and surgical abortion each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Since you are in the early stages of pregnancy, both medication abortion and surgical abortion are options for you. Medication abortion causes less harm to the body, but it may not be completely effective, with one-fifth of patients experiencing incomplete termination. Surgical abortion is more thorough, but it can be more traumatic. Patients should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
