Which method is better, medication abortion or surgical abortion?

Patient's question:

My sister got pregnant right after getting married this year. Due to certain reasons, she doesn't want to have the child. Is it better to have an abortion through medication or surgery?

Doctor's answer:

The patient can now have an abortion. Nowadays, it is minimally invasive, and the procedure is performed under visual instruments, which can quickly remove the pregnancy. It will never damage your endometrium or cervix. Damage is relatively rare with medication abortion, but it may not be completely effective, requiring a follow-up procedure to clear the uterus. Post-abortion bleeding may be prolonged, and there is a risk of infection. Therefore, it is recommended to have an abortion. First, go to the hospital for a thorough examination, and let the doctor determine the most suitable method for your condition. After the procedure, rest in bed for the first three days, eat vegetables rich in vitamins, and drink plenty of water. Strictly avoid sexual intercourse for 30 days.
