Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I accidentally got pregnant for more than two months, but I just started working, and my husband also just started working. We haven't been prepared, and now we don't want a child. Which method is safer and causes less mental trauma—medical abortion or surgical abortion? Which method is better for us to have children again in the future, considering we are still young.Doctor's answer:
Medical abortion is less harmful to the body and does not affect the uterine wall. However, medical abortion may lead to residual placental tissue, resulting in incomplete miscarriage. It is recommended to have an immediate post-miscarriage transvaginal ultrasound to check if the miscarriage is complete. If there is any residual tissue, a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure may be necessary. After the D&C, it is important to take antibiotics to prevent secondary infection. During this period, avoid spicy and overly stimulating foods.
