Patient's question:
My girlfriend went to the hospital today for a thorough examination. She said she has been pregnant for over a month. Since we are not ready for a child right now, we want to have an abortion. However, we don't know which type of abortion is appropriate. We are not very clear and just hope for a very safe procedure. We are seeking advice on which type of abortion is better.Doctor's answer:
Medical abortion generally causes less harm to the uterus compared to other surgical abortion methods. However, medical abortion must be performed within 49 days of pregnancy. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital's gynecology department for a color Doppler ultrasound examination to confirm whether the pregnancy is intrauterine, rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy, and then decide on the appropriate abortion method under the guidance of a doctor. If you do not wish to have the baby, it is essential to use other contraceptive measures.
