Patient's question:
I found out that I was accidentally pregnant, and I am currently struggling with whether I should choose medication abortion or surgical abortion. That's why I want to ask what the methods and drawbacks of medication abortion are. Since it's still not too far along in terms of gestational age, the doctor told me that both options are available, and it depends on my own decision.Doctor's answer:
The difference between induced abortion and medication abortion is that the former involves surgical removal of the gestational sac directly, with anesthesia enhanced painlessly on this basis. The latter is achieved through the influence of drugs on the human endocrine system to promote uterine contractions and expel the gestational sac. If medication abortion is successfully completed, the harm surgery can cause to the uterus can be prevented. However, the influence of drugs on the human endocrine system is unavoidable. While induced abortion causes direct damage to the uterus, this is triggered by the surgery.
