Is it safer to have an induced abortion or a medication abortion after a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

The last menstrual period was on August 11th. On October 2nd, the ultrasound showed a gestational sac size of 1.61, with no fetal pole or heartbeat. On October 19th, the gestational sac size was 1.71.40.8. Today, the ultrasound showed a gestational sac size of 1.91.41.4, still with no fetal pole or heartbeat. The doctor said it must be a missed miscarriage and recommended an induced abortion. I don’t feel at ease and went to another hospital. The doctor there said that in this case, it’s safer to stay in the hospital for medication-induced abortion, allowing the gestational sac to soften and naturally shed. I’m now very conflicted and unsure which method is better.
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help you need: I hope to get a good suggestion on how to proceed safely and ensure a complete miscarriage.

Doctor's answer:

In the case you mentioned, if it is possible, it is recommended to consider medical abortion as the best option. Medical advice suggests that in this situation, it has likely been confirmed that a recurrent miscarriage has occurred. Therefore, it is advisable to consider medical abortion, as it would cause relatively less harm to the uterus. For the care and health management of any disease, it is important to maintain a stable mindset, as a healthy and positive attitude is highly beneficial for both the treatment and prevention of the illness.
