Patient's question:
I got pregnant unexpectedly and don't want it. I heard there are several types of abortion procedures. What is the best procedure for an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Methods to terminate early pregnancy in the early stages of pregnancy include medication abortion, induced abortion, and painless abortion. Medication abortion causes less harm to the body but takes a longer time, requiring at least three days of medication. The bleeding period after medication abortion is relatively longer, and there is also a higher risk of intrauterine residual tissue. The appropriate time for medication abortion is within 49 days of pregnancy. Induced abortion and painless abortion are shorter in duration but carry the risk of infection and perforation. None of the methods for terminating pregnancy are absolutely safe. If the embryo is normal, it is recommended to preserve it.
