Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask if you don't want children, is it better to have an abortion or a medication abortion? Because my best friend accidentally got pregnant, and she and her boyfriend haven't made any preparations for marriage yet, so it seems this child won't be kept. She is 23 years old, and I hope you can give her some advice.Doctor's answer:
Having an induced abortion or a medication abortion can both cause harm to the endometrium. A direct induced abortion is faster, and a visual abortion procedure causes relatively less damage to the endometrium, but both require entering the uterine cavity to operate, so postoperative prevention of infection is necessary. Medication abortion is required within 49 days of pregnancy and does not involve entering the uterine cavity, but there is a possibility of incomplete medication abortion, and the process is also longer, with medication needing to be taken in multiple doses. It is recommended to choose either medication abortion or visual abortion based on your own schedule.
