Patient's question:
Accidentally pregnant, but this child cannot be kept, needing medication abortion, feeling very nervous and extremely sad and painful. Is medication abortion the same as natural miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
The process of medical abortion and spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) is the same, both involving abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and the expulsion of the gestational sac. The difference lies in that spontaneous abortion occurs naturally without medication, while medical abortion is induced by taking oral medication to stimulate uterine contractions, leading to abdominal pain, bleeding, and the expulsion of the gestational sac. The pain is usually tolerable and does not require excessive concern. The above information can serve as a reference.
