Patient's question:
I won the bid by chance. My boyfriend's work is not easy, and my parents strongly oppose me being with him. They want to take me for an abortion. Which is the safest, miscarriage or induced abortion? I'm so afraid I won't be able to have children in the future.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the methods to terminate early pregnancy include medication abortion, induced abortion, curettage, and dilation and evacuation. The choice of method depends on the duration of the missed period. Regardless of the method chosen, there are certain risks involved. Medication abortion is relatively safer compared to the others because if the early pregnancy is expelled completely, there is no need for a D&C (dilation and curettage), which means no intrauterine procedures are required. This helps prevent intrauterine infections to some extent. The other methods, however, do require intrauterine procedures. Regardless of the method, there is a possibility of infertility.
