What are the issues regarding medication abortion in the early stages of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

If after having sex, the first delayed menstruation is checked, can it be determined whether pregnancy occurs, and is the effect of medication abortion good at this time? What medication is the safest and most reliable?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, during the first 49 days of pregnancy, you can choose between medication abortion or surgical abortion. The advantages and disadvantages of each are as follows:
Medication abortion: Convenient to use, medication can be taken at home, no surgery required, less painful, effective, and can avoid some complications caused by surgical abortion, such as uterine perforation or arrhythmia induced by surgical stimulation. However, medication abortion also has some drawbacks.
Surgical abortion: Currently, you can choose painless surgical abortion. The procedure is short, usually completed within 3-5 minutes, and you will not feel any pain during the surgery, making it more suitable for women who are highly sensitive to pain. Most women can return to work the day after the procedure without any impact on their daily activities.
