Patient's question:
I had an abortion twice using medication two years ago. Now I'm pregnant again, but I don't want the child. Which is better, medication abortion or surgical abortion?Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion is generally available up to 49 days of pregnancy. It is recommended to have an ultrasound at around 40 days to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. After confirming with a doctor, medication abortion can be performed. It is advised to have an ultrasound after taking Mifepristone for one week to check if the abortion is complete.For surgical abortion, it is generally recommended for pregnancies within 8 weeks. It is advisable to visit a regular hospital's gynecology department for ultrasound and other relevant examinations. Based on the size and location of the gestational sac, the doctor will guide you in choosing the most suitable method for terminating the pregnancy.
