Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 42 days pregnant and having a miscarriage. Should I consider a painless abortion? Would medication abortion be a bit faster?Doctor's answer:
You are 42 days pregnant, and you have two options for an abortion. The first is an abortion through a painless surgical procedure, and the second is an abortion through medication. If you want a faster option, the painless surgical procedure is quicker. With the surgery, you can return home the same day. With medication abortion, it is not as fast; you need to take medication first, and it takes three days for the gestational sac to be expelled. Both surgical methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.
