Which is better, medication abortion or painless abortion at 42 days of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Which is better, medication abortion at 42 days or painless abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally medication abortion can be performed within 49 days of pregnancy, and surgical abortion can be done within 10 weeks. Medication abortion is closer to natural miscarriage. If it is completely expelled, the damage is minimal, but the bleeding duration is long and the amount of bleeding is significant. Some people may have incomplete medication abortion, requiring a uterine curettage, which causes significant damage to the endometrium and poses a high risk with a long recovery period.
