Patient's question:
A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the result was that I was unexpectedly pregnant for a month. Hello doctor, is it better to have an abortion by medication or surgery for an unexpected pregnancy of one month? I would like to choose medication abortion, but I don't know if it can be harmful to the body. Which of these two methods has less harm to the body?Doctor's answer:
If you are currently pregnant for only one month and have not yet reached 49 days, the medication abortion is actually less harmful compared to surgical abortion. Additionally, the cost of medication abortion is relatively lower because surgical abortion requires a surgical procedure to forcefully scrape the uterine lining, which may lead to thinning of the endometrium. Therefore, medication abortion is a suitable option if you have not yet reached 49 days.
