Patient's question:
Your sister-in-law is about to get an abortion. Which is better, medication abortion or surgical abortion? If the child is aborted, how long does she need to rest at home?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for a woman who is 49 days pregnant, medication abortion can be chosen. Surgical procedures such as Dilation and Curettage (D&C) can be considered within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. Medication abortion does not involve intrauterine procedures, which poses relatively less harm to a woman's body. However, a small portion of women may experience incomplete miscarriage and may still need a follow-up D&C procedure. After an abortion, it is important to ensure two weeks of rest. Wishing you good health.
