Patient's question:
I want to terminate this somewhat deformed fetus in my stomach. Although I'm reluctant, I can't give birth to a deformed child. It's better to wait until later to have a healthy one. I don't know if it's better to have a medication abortion or a surgical abortion. What are the timeframes for medication abortion and surgical abortion? Which one has a shorter recovery time?Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, miscarriage can occur through medical abortion or induced abortion. If it's the first pregnancy, medical abortion is relatively better, as it causes less physical and psychological trauma. However, the only drawback is that the side effects may lead to incomplete miscarriage, requiring a later Dilation and Curettage (D&C) treatment, with recovery times being similar. Of course, if induced abortion is chosen, it can be resolved in one go. This depends on the individual's preference, and both options are acceptable.
