Patient's question:
My endometrium is quite thin, making it impossible for me to have a smooth childbirth. However, I am worried about the high risks of surgery, so I decided to try traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. Can traditional Chinese medicine induce miscarriage? Are the side effects of traditional Chinese medicine less severe than those of Western medicine?Doctor's answer:
Hello, traditional Chinese medicine has a unique perspective on preserving pregnancy, but it's not its strong point to induce miscarriage. What's often said on TV about musk-induced miscarriage isn't as effective as it claims. The safety of traditional Chinese medicine-induced miscarriage is not as reliable as Western medicine. If you're considering a miscarriage, it's better to opt for Western medicine. I recommend going to a regular hospital's gynecology department, where you can choose between medication abortion or surgical abortion. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
