Patient's question:
Is the physical harm of medication abortion less than that of induced abortion? I'm afraid it will affect fertility in the future.Doctor's answer:
The success rate of medication abortion is relatively low, approximately around 75%. The main forms of medication abortion failure include incomplete abortion. If an incomplete abortion occurs, residual fetal membrane tissue can lead to severe bleeding (hemorrhage), requiring immediate hospitalization for a second Dilation and Curettage (D&C) to clear the remaining tissue, otherwise it can be life-threatening. In cases of incomplete medication abortion, a second D&C is often necessary, causing women to endure another round of suffering. In contrast to medication abortion, induced abortion (surgical abortion) uses intravenous anesthesia, reducing pain during the procedure. Currently, painless induced abortion is characterized by safety, speed, zero harm, zero pain, zero postoperative complications, preserving the uterine health, and early termination of pregnancy, completely solving the pain and high complication rates associated with traditional surgery.Recommendation: Whether choosing medication abortion or induced abortion, both are effective methods for terminating pregnancy, but they differ in the extent of physical impact on the body. Regardless of the choice, it is essential to undergo the procedure at a reputable and (standardized) medical facility. It is recommended to opt for the most popular and least harmful technology, such as the Anshoubao painless induced abortion method. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
