Patient's question:
Pregnant, but don't want the child myself, just want to have an abortion. What method is least harmful?Doctor's answer:
You are pregnant and planning to have an abortion. I don't know how many days exactly you have been pregnant. If the pregnancy is relatively short, around forty days, it is best to use medication for the abortion, as it generally causes less harm. However, if the pregnancy is less than fifty days, the effectiveness of medication abortion is not good, because the fetus is too large, and medication abortion may not be completely effective. In this case, a D&C (dilation and curettage) surgery is needed.
