Which is better, painless abortion or medication abortion?

Patient's question:

I and my boyfriend don't want a child yet, we are planning to abort this child, which is better, painless abortion or medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

If you are currently pregnant and decide not to have the child, you can choose between an induced abortion or medication abortion. The main factor to consider is the specific gestational age. If you are within 42 days of pregnancy, medication abortion is relatively better and can generally result in a complete miscarriage. If the gestational age is shorter than this period, an induced abortion surgery is necessary because medication abortion may not be thorough and could leave residual tissue. These are the reasons for speculating which method is better in such situations.
