Which is more painful, medication abortion or giving birth?

Patient's question:

Best friends and boyfriends have been together for a long time. They usually live together in the same room. After taking emergency contraception, they still got pregnant and want to do medication abortion but are afraid of whether medication abortion or giving birth is more painful.

Doctor's answer:

Medically, giving birth is naturally more painful than a medication-induced abortion. In today's advanced medical environment, pain during childbirth can be alleviated through medication. In contrast, medication-induced abortion involves terminating a fetus that has not yet developed sufficiently in the uterus by using drugs to expel it. This method of abortion is more thorough in terms of the physical and uterine damage it causes, with recovery being relatively faster. Wishing the patient a speedy and healthy recovery!
