Is there a difference between medication-induced uterine contractions and childbirth contractions?

Patient's question:

Suddenly I got pregnant, leaving me completely unprepared. Is there a difference between medication-induced contractions and contractions during childbirth?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the uterine contractions and pain caused by medication-induced abortion are much more intense than those during childbirth. I suggest you don't put too much mental pressure on yourself, as pain from such conditions is generally manageable. It is essential to undergo medication-induced abortion at a formal hospital. After the procedure, follow-up examinations should be conducted within one to two weeks to check for any remaining residues in the uterine cavity. Patients who have undergone miscarriage surgery should pay close attention to rest and are strictly prohibited from engaging in sexual activity for 42 days.
