Patient's question:
Because my husband now has domestic violence, and he often dislikes going in to drink beer and loaf around in his spare time. Our relationship has severely broken down, so I divorced my husband at the beginning of this year. Now I'm pregnant and planning to have an abortion. I want to ask the doctor whether it's better to have an abortion or to use medication for a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Both medical and surgical abortion have their advantages and disadvantages. The harm caused by medical abortion is slightly less than surgical abortion, but the possibility of residual tissue after medical abortion may be slightly higher. On the other hand, surgical abortion causes more harm than medical abortion, but compared to dilation and curettage, the harm caused by surgical abortion is relatively smaller. Currently, you need to have a gynecological ultrasound first. The choice of abortion method should be based on the size and location of the gestational sac, in addition to the duration of pregnancy, and it is not something you can do as you please.
