Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My period has been delayed by many days this month and hasn't arrived yet. I suspected I might be pregnant, and it turned out to be true. However, due to many reasons, I cannot have this child. So, I'm asking you, which is better between an abortion and medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
If it's a first pregnancy, it's better to choose medication abortion. If you've already been in labor or had an abortion before, it's better to choose surgical abortion. It should be based on your personal constitution and physical condition. I suggest you choose surgical abortion because it usually succeeds in one go. With medication abortion, besides the possibility of not being completely effective, you may need a uterine clearance, which is quite troublesome. It's recommended that you have the surgery at a Class III-A municipal hospital in your local area for better safety.
