Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for a month and want to have an abortion. Why does the doctor recommend medication abortion if the success rate is low?Doctor's answer:
The success rate of medication-induced abortion is not particularly low. Generally, medication-induced abortion is chosen when the size of the gestational sac is appropriate, and it can be successfully cleared in 80% to 90% of cases. Compared to surgical abortion, the side effects and harm of medication-induced abortion are relatively smaller. If a thorough examination confirms that the size of the gestational sac is suitable, medication-induced abortion is personally recommended as the better option, as it is less painful for women.
