How great are the risks of medication abortion?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. How great are the risks of medication abortion? Is it that the risk of choosing a painless induced abortion is a little smaller?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after getting pregnant and deciding not to have a child, I chose to take medication for an abortion. After taking the medication, there is a possibility that it may not be completely effective on the second attempt. There is also a possibility of recurring vaginal discharge and skin breakdown. Additionally, there may be a risk of severe vaginal bleeding during the medication process. Therefore, it is safer to directly opt for an (painless) abortion, as it can be done cleanly in one go and has fewer postoperative complications. Alternatively, oral herbs that promote blood circulation and reduce stagnation can be used for treatment. After medication abortion, it is important to rest for 1 to 2 weeks and avoid spicy and irritating foods, while maintaining a light diet.
