Patient's question:
I am still a female college student at school, and I accidentally got pregnant with my boyfriend without breastfeeding. I don't have the ability to raise a child, so I want to have an abortion. I don't know whether it's better to have an abortion through surgery or medication. Is medication abortion safe? Thank you for the doctor's advice.Doctor's answer:
You are pregnant because you are still in school, so you cannot have this child. Generally, you can consider medication abortion or surgical abortion. Both methods have their pros and cons and are time-sensitive. Additionally, you need to have an ultrasound examination to determine the exact gestational age. Medication abortion has a success rate of over 90%, but it is not entirely safe and may carry the risk of incomplete miscarriage leading to severe bleeding. Therefore, you need to consult with a doctor to decide on the appropriate method of abortion to terminate the early pregnancy.
