Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for about a month and wanted to have an abortion. However, when I went for a thorough check-up today, the doctor said that medication abortion is less harmful than surgical abortion. Could you please tell me which one is less harmful? Because I still want to have children in the future. Can I endure the pain of medication abortion? During the check-up, the doctor also said I have vaginitis and asked me to take medication while treating it. But will taking medication abortion pills and inserting those pills at the same time not cause problems with the fetal sac? Please provide a detailed answer from an experienced doctor. Thank you for the assistance you care about: Please tell me which is better, medication abortion or surgical abortion, and can the treatment for vaginitis with medication be done simultaneously?Doctor's answer:
Whether it is any method of induced abortion, the endometrium will suffer additional damage. Relatively speaking, medication abortion causes less damage, but there is a 20% chance that it may not be completely effective. Different types of abortion have different indications. If it is diagnosed as a normal intrauterine pregnancy within 49 days of conception, medication abortion can be used under the guidance of a doctor. If it is within 70 days of conception, artificial abortion can be performed. The specific measures should be taken based on your own actual situation to avoid any accidents.
