Is it better to have a D&C early or late after a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. A while ago, I accidentally got pregnant, but now I don't want the child, so I had an abortion. I want to ask if it's better to have an early or late abortion? Which one is less harmful to the body? What should I pay attention to in the future? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, this is not something you can decide on your own. After becoming pregnant, you should not consider having an abortion procedure. This requires going to the hospital first for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination. The doctor will determine the appropriate abortion method based on your gestational age. There are options such as medication abortion, painless induced abortion, and conventional induced abortion, among others. After the abortion, it is important to refrain from sexual activity for at least one month to avoid infection, and you should rest for 1 to 2 weeks.
