Previously, I had two cesarean sections. Will it affect the third pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I had two previous cesarean sections, and now I unexpectedly got pregnant again. I want to know which is more harmful to the body: a cesarean section or medication-induced abortion.

Doctor's answer:

Abdominal delivery and medication-induced abortion can both cause certain harm to the body. Generally, medication-induced abortion is not recommended after abdominal delivery. Scars on the uterus after abdominal delivery can easily lead to incomplete medication-induced abortion, so it is not advisable to choose medication-induced abortion. Before undergoing a small abortion, it is recommended to improve preoperative related examinations, such as routine vaginal discharge tests, gynecological color Doppler ultrasound, electrocardiograms, etc. Based on the examination results, the appropriate small abortion method should be determined. Postoperatively, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited for one month, and a light diet should be maintained. A follow-up color Doppler ultrasound should be performed after half a month to check for any remnants and the complete recovery of the uterus.
