What is the damage of medication abortion to the uterus?

Patient's question:

My girlfriend is pregnant, but she doesn't want to have a child right now. What are the damages of medication abortion to the uterus?

Doctor's answer:

Medication abortion is achieved through oral medication to induce abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, forcing the gestational sac to be expelled. This method causes less harm to the uterus. However, medication abortion may lead to incomplete miscarriage, which might require a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure. If a D&C is performed, it involves surgical trauma and can cause damage to the uterus. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital for a thorough examination and consult with a doctor to determine the most suitable method for miscarriage.
