Is it better to have medication abortion or surgical abortion at 6 weeks of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Please, I just checked and I'm 6 weeks pregnant. If I don't want it, should I choose an abortion or medication abortion? After the procedure, do I need to get two days of anti-inflammatory shots? What else should I pay attention to?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, medical abortion can be chosen within 49 days of pregnancy. However, medical abortion has significant side effects and is prone to incomplete abortion, requiring uterine evacuation, which causes considerable damage to the uterus. It is recommended that you choose a painless abortion for greater safety. A painless induced abortion surgery refers to the procedure where a gynecologist performs an induced abortion on a pregnant woman under general anesthesia, with the assistance of an anesthesiologist. This requires a professional anesthesiologist to complete the surgery, which is based on the suction abortion procedure, combined with intravenous general anesthesia, ensuring no pain during the surgery. The anesthesiologist administers general anesthesia through intravenous injection. The specific abortion method should be chosen based on your physical condition, and it is recommended that you undergo a check-up at a regular hospital to select the appropriate abortion method.
