Is artificial abortion the same as a D&C?

Patient's question:

Recently diagnosed with this disease at the hospital. Please ask, is induced abortion the same as uterine aspiration?

Doctor's answer:

Dear Inquirer,
An induced abortion is a method to terminate early pregnancy and is a remedy for unintended pregnancy. Induced abortion includes surgical miscarriage and medication-induced abortion. Surgical miscarriage refers to a procedure called uterine aspiration. It involves using surgical instruments to remove early pregnancy tissues from the uterine cavity, either through suction or (scraping), under or without a negative pressure suction device. After the surgery, proper rest is required.
