Can you have medication abortion soon after surgery?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Can I have medication abortion soon after the surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Consider an abortion. The safest option is a surgical abortion, as it is more secure. Medical abortion is prone to incomplete termination, so it is better to undergo a hysteroscopic directed curettage under the guidance of a doctor. There will be no residual tissue post-surgery, and it generally does not lead to severe bleeding. If the pregnancy exceeds 3 months, an induction abortion procedure is necessary. After the induction abortion, sexual activity can be resumed one month later. Visit the gynecology department of the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound to check the recovery of the uterus. You can consider getting pregnant again after six months. Pay attention to personal hygiene.
