When pregnant, is it better to have an abortion or a medication abortion?

Patient's question:

Girlfriend is 57 days pregnant and unsure whether to have an abortion or medication abortion. Moreover, she is afraid of surgery and wants to know if medication abortion will terminate the pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, if you are pregnant for less than 49 days, you can undergo medication abortion. If you do not plan to keep the pregnancy, it is recommended to choose a formal hospital to perform a miscarriage. After the miscarriage, it is important to rest more and avoid sexual activity for a month. After the abortion, pay attention to personal hygiene, wear breathable underwear, and avoid sexual activity for a month. It is recommended that you go directly to the gynecology department of a local formal public hospital for a follow-up examination.
