Patient's question:
Today I learned that induced abortion generally has two methods: medication abortion and surgical abortion. However, it seems that both methods can cause certain harm to the body, but I don't know which one is more harmful. So, which is more harmful to the body, medication abortion or surgical abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it appears that any method of miscarriage can cause significant harm to a woman's body. The impact varies depending on the method chosen, making it difficult to compare the two. Medicinal abortion involves taking hormone-containing medications, which can greatly affect a woman's endocrine system and also carries the risk of heavy bleeding. Surgical abortion uses instruments to stimulate the uterus, which may leave behind inflammation.
