Does taking medication to induce abortion harm your health?

Patient's question:

I just got pregnant for a month and I'm still studying. I don't want it. I want to ask if medication abortion harms the body? Is medication abortion better or vacuum aspiration better?

Doctor's answer:

Compared to medication abortion and surgical abortion, medication abortion generally causes less physical damage to the body and is similar to a normal menstrual period. However, medication abortion can easily lead to a shorter duration of bleeding and may also result in incomplete miscarriage, which may require a D&C procedure in some cases. Therefore, it is necessary to undergo an ultrasound examination at the hospital as soon as possible after medication abortion to rule out any residual tissue in the uterine cavity. It is recommended that you visit a local hospital for a thorough examination and consult with a doctor to determine the most appropriate method for terminating an early pregnancy under medical guidance.
