Is it better to take medication or get an injection for an abortion?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I want to have an abortion, but there are two methods: medication abortion and surgical abortion. I want to know which is better: medication abortion or surgical abortion?

Doctor's answer:

In clinical diagnosis, there are several different methods for inducing abortion. It can involve taking mifepristone orally in combination with misoprostol, or performing amniotic cavity anesthesia with ethacridine lactate. The specific choice depends on the gestational age, amniotic fluid condition, and careful examination to make a decision.
If the pregnancy is less than four months along, it is recommended to undergo a miscarriage procedure under the guidance of a doctor by taking oral medication. This method has a high success rate and is considered a better option. However, it is necessary to have a follow-up ultrasound to check the uterus for recovery after the procedure.
