Patient's question:
I have a boyfriend who is in a relationship. Last month, on his birthday, we suddenly felt a connection, so we didn't take precautions and had sex many times. Later, we discovered that I was pregnant. I'm only 22 years old, and I can't tell my family about this. I'm planning to have an abortion, but is a painless abortion, such as an artificial abortion, harmful?Doctor's answer:
The flow of people can be harmful to the body. Compared to it, medication-induced abortion has a slightly lower chance of reappearing infection if it does not exit the uterine cavity again. However, it may not be able to completely expel the embryonic tissue, which may lead to intrauterine residual tissue requiring a D&C procedure. Direct surgical abortion can be decided on traditional methods, painless, or visual abortion. Traditional and painless methods are the same, relying on the doctor's hand feeling to perform blind scraping, which causes more damage than visual abortion and may also lead to missed aspiration or residual tissue. Visual abortion is more expensive, and residual tissue may occur, but it is relatively rare. Since both methods involve entering the uterine cavity, postoperative anti-inflammatory treatment is necessary.
