Is medication-induced abortion safe?

Patient's question:

My friend, a few weeks ago, forgot to take precautions when she was with her boyfriend. Now she has discovered that she is actually pregnant, but she feels that she is still young and does not want a child. She wants to consult a doctor about whether medication abortion is safe.

Doctor's answer:

Taking medication to induce abortion is unsafe and carries certain risks. It may lead to incomplete miscarriage or incomplete bleeding. It is better to go to the hospital and undergo a surgical miscarriage under the guidance of a doctor. This method is safer, promotes faster recovery, and ensures a more thorough clearance. After a miscarriage, it is important to rest in bed for two weeks and avoid excessive fatigue and a heavy diet, focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Sexual activity should be strictly prohibited for one month after the procedure. It is also essential to maintain good hygiene in the private area to prevent infections.
