Which is less harmful to the body, medication abortion or surgical abortion?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? Which is less harmful to the body, medication abortion or surgical abortion?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, medication-induced abortion is generally less harmful. It is important to treat it correctly, increase nutrition, supplement vitamins and trace elements, and follow a diet that is easy to digest and absorb. Medications should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
Hello, based on your condition, it appears to be an incomplete abortion, with residual tissue remaining. This has already been confirmed.
Recommendation: For the residual tissue, it is recommended to undergo a D&C (dilation and curettage). You should wait for it to naturally pass out. If it does not come out immediately, it may lead to infection or severe bleeding, which would be more harmful to you and cause greater damage. It is advisable to undergo a D&C.
