Patient's question:
I have a friend who underwent an abortion procedure. Hello doctor, what is the difference between miscarriage and induced abortion? I just want to understand it very clearly.Doctor's answer:
Miscarriage and induced abortion both involve removing the child from the body. A procedure performed before three months of pregnancy is called a miscarriage procedure, while one performed after three months is called an induced abortion procedure. Miscarriage procedures do not require hospitalization and can be done in an outpatient setting. However, induced abortion procedures require hospitalization, and under the guidance of a doctor, many uterine contraction-enhancing medications are taken orally, allowing the fetus to be expelled. The above information can be used as a reference.
