Patient's question:
I have been married to my husband for six years and have a daughter. Due to inflammation, I haven't been planning to have a second child for now. However, last month, my contraception measures weren't effective, and I accidentally got pregnant. Today, I had an ultrasound and found that I'm about 45 days pregnant. I'm not planning to keep the pregnancy, so I'd like to ask if medication abortion is better or painless abortion is better?Doctor's answer:
You are about 45 days pregnant, which is suitable for medication abortion. Medication abortion is less harmful to the body compared to painless surgical abortion, but it also has drawbacks. It can lead to excessive vaginal bleeding and may result in incomplete miscarriage. Painless surgical abortion, although it involves a surgical procedure, is completely painless throughout the process. If you want a clean miscarriage, the best choice is to opt for painless abortion.
