Patient's question:
Doctor, is it better to have an abortion without anesthesia or medication abortion? Which one causes less harm to the body? Which one recovers faster?Doctor's answer:
Having an abortion with anesthesia is safer and causes less harm to the body, while medication abortion is more likely to result in residual uterine tissue, potentially requiring a second D&C procedure. You can decide for yourself. Generally, it is recommended to have an abortion with anesthesia. Before the procedure, it is essential to undergo a thorough medical examination at the hospital to confirm intrauterine pregnancy and miscarriage. After the abortion, it is advised to rest and avoid staying up late. Do not eat spicy, irritating, or extremely cold foods. Pay attention to preventing colds and avoid getting chilled. Abstinence from sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one month. Additionally, maintain good personal hygiene and change your underwear frequently.
