Which is better, medication abortion or surgical abortion?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. My period hasn't come this month, and I've been feeling a bit upset. So, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and unexpectedly found out I'm pregnant. My boyfriend and I are not ready for a child right now. Which is better, medication abortion or surgical abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Medication abortion is relatively simple to perform and causes less psychological trauma. However, if it leads to incomplete miscarriage, further uterine evacuation surgery may be necessary. Surgical abortion, although more invasive, generally results in a more complete miscarriage. The specific method should be determined based on individual circumstances. After a miscarriage, it is essential to pay close attention to physical recovery and rest more. The above information can serve as a reference.
