Which is better, medication abortion or surgical abortion?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I am already two months pregnant. I don't want the child for now. I am in the peak of my career, and for me, going to work is the most important thing. If it comes to physical harm, which is better, medication abortion or surgical abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Medication abortion is relatively simple and causes less physical harm to women. However, it can easily lead to incomplete miscarriage, requiring further Dilation and Curettage (D&C) surgery. Surgical abortion poses relatively greater risks to women, but the process is more thorough. The specific method depends on your own decision. After the surgery, it is important to pay attention to proper body recovery, avoid staying up late and overexerting yourself, and prevent exposure to cold.
