Patient's question:
Doctor, I heard people say that medication abortion is much less harmful than surgical abortion. But I am three months pregnant now, can I still have a medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion and surgical abortion each have their pros and cons. While medication abortion does not require uterine intervention, it can also have a significant impact on liver and kidney function, and sometimes it may cause more bleeding than surgical abortion. Currently, if you are three months pregnant, medication abortion cannot be performed. Medication abortion is generally restricted to intrauterine early pregnancy within 49 days, and it is more likely to be unsuccessful if the time is shorter. Currently, if you are three months pregnant, you need to be hospitalized for an induced abortion procedure.
