Patient's question:
I'm pregnant, but I can't keep the child. I want to ask, which is safer between surgical abortion and medication abortion? I'm looking for a safer way to terminate the pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
If pregnancy occurs again after sexual activity, deciding not to have the child and choosing either an abortion or medication abortion is acceptable. Relatively speaking, if the pregnancy is within 42 days, opting for medication abortion has fewer side effects and is also safe. If it is before this period, a surgical abortion is necessary, as medication abortion may not be completely effective. From a clinical diagnostic perspective, surgical abortion causes more significant damage. Medication abortion is much safer.
