What is the difference between induced abortion and miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello, hello, what is the difference between induced abortion and miscarriage? My sister had an induced abortion, and I'm a bit confused about what that means?

Doctor's answer:

The main difference between induced abortion and miscarriage is that miscarriage generally occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, such as within the first 60 days. If one wants to keep the child, an induced abortion can be performed. However, if the pregnancy has advanced beyond this period, the child has grown larger, and a simple induced abortion method may not be sufficient to remove the fetus completely. In such cases, a surgical abortion becomes necessary. The above information can be used as a reference.
