Which is better, medication abortion or surgical abortion?

Patient's question:

I and my girlfriend love each other very much. Sometimes we also do many embarrassing things, but every time we are well-prepared. However, recently, I don't know why my girlfriend got pregnant. Now we don't want this child. Which is better, medical abortion or surgical abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to serve you. Based on the information you provided, the medication for induced abortion is mifepristone tablets and misoprostol tablets. You can choose medication abortion within 49 days of pregnancy. Before medication abortion, an ultrasound is required to confirm intrauterine pregnancy. The medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. The success rate of medication abortion is not 100%, and there is a possibility of incomplete miscarriage. Therefore, you need to have an ultrasound at the hospital one week after medication abortion to check if it is completely expelled. Rest is important after medication abortion, and antibiotics should be taken orally to prevent inflammation and infection. Sexual activity and tub baths are strictly prohibited for one month after medication abortion. Wishing you good health!
