Patient's question:
I accidentally got pregnant and want to have an abortion. It's very painful and hurtful, so I want to consult about which option is less harmful: medication abortion or D&C?Doctor's answer:
Young women who accidentally get pregnant, if they want to have an abortion, generally within 50 days of pregnancy and confirmed as an intrauterine pregnancy, can achieve the purpose of clearing the uterus through medication abortion. If it has been more than two months, it is best to choose a surgical abortion. Generally, medication abortion may not be able to completely expel the gestational sac. Regardless of which method is used, it is necessary to ensure that the gestational sac is completely expelled. Both methods have certain injuries, and it can be said that surgical abortion causes more damage because it requires the use of instruments to scrape the uterus!
