Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? Which option is less harmful? What are the differences between a painless abortion and a D&C?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a D&C (dilation and curettage) is a surgical procedure to remove the uterine lining or contents of the uterine cavity. First, both procedures cause some degree of harm to the body. Painless D&C generally refers to situations where a medication abortion or surgical abortion has not been completely performed, leaving residual tissue or when there is a significant amount of intrauterine blood clots behind. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any type of abortion method will cause some damage to a woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Patients undergoing an abortion should focus on self-care, such as dietary regulation, maintaining warmth, and avoiding cold exposure.
