Which is less harmful, cesarean section or induced abortion?

Patient's question:

In 2015, I had a cesarean section and gave birth to a child. I didn't take good care of myself during the postpartum period, and the child was difficult to raise. In the past two years, both the adult and the child have poor physical health. Now, I unexpectedly became pregnant again. I want to ask you, Doctor, which is less harmful to the body: having another cesarean section or having an abortion now?

Doctor's answer:

Compared to pregnancy, induced abortion causes less damage. It is recommended to choose medication abortion in the early stages. Have a magnetic resonance examination at 40 days after menstruation to ensure you can have medication abortion as early as possible, which has a much higher success rate. For a scarred uterus, the risk of a repeat cesarean section is much higher, but it is still possible. You can have a child 2.5 days after a cesarean section. In addition to treating the cesarean section, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a pleasant mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
