Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I've been pregnant for three weeks now, but I'm feeling a lot of pressure at work and don't think I'm ready to have a child yet. Additionally, I haven't prepared myself to be a mother. So, I want to consider an abortion. I'd like to consult about medication abortion—is it better to have an abortion at a hospital or take medication?Doctor's answer:
At three weeks pregnant, you can consider medication abortion, but medication abortion can easily lead to residual tissue in the uterus, posing the risk of a second D&C procedure. It is recommended that you visit a formal hospital for a thorough examination and decide on the method of painless abortion surgery, which is much safer and more stable. Regardless of the choice of abortion, it must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. Never use medication blindly. After the procedure, pay close attention to preventing cold exposure and avoid getting cold. Eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Abstinence from sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited for one month.
