Which one is recommended between medication abortion and surgical abortion for the first pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Morning urine test, please help me take a look if it's pregnant. I haven't planned to have a child yet. If it is, which one is recommended between medication abortion and surgical abortion for the first pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the information you provided, it seems that you might be pregnant. You should undergo an MRI examination to confirm an intrauterine early pregnancy. Since this is your first pregnancy, the calculation starts from the first day of your last menstrual period. If it is within 49 days, it is recommended that you undergo medication-induced abortion under medical supervision. Even if there is residual tissue, a second procedure to clear the uterus can prevent mechanical trauma to the cervix caused by dilation.
If you decide to have an induced abortion, whether it is a conventional induced abortion or an anesthesia-induced abortion, the physical and psychological trauma are the same. The only difference is whether anesthesia is used or not.
