Which is less harmful, medication abortion or suction curettage?

Patient's question:

Three months after giving birth, I went to the hospital for a check-up and found out I was pregnant again. So this baby cannot be taken home. I want to go to the hospital to have an abortion, either through medication or a D&C. I'd like to know which one, medication abortion or D&C, causes less harm to the body?

Doctor's answer:

If you do not want to get pregnant again, it is essential to take proper contraceptive measures. You can use condoms or birth control pills during each sexual activity. However, whether it is an induced abortion or medication abortion, both can cause significant harm to the body. If you are planning to get pregnant, it is best to choose a painless induced abortion. Medication abortion is more likely to lead to miscarriage and may require a follow-up procedure to clear the uterus, causing greater damage to the womb. The above is advice on this issue. I hope it helps you.
