Patient's question:
How high is the success rate of medication abortion? ~I'm about 33 days pregnant~
Is medication abortion better than surgical abortion?
Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion is one type of traditional induced abortion. Due to varying costs across different regions, the expense of medication abortion is approximately 400-800 yuan, which does not include pre-operative examination fees or post-operative medication costs. Pre-operative examination fees typically range from 200-400 yuan, and post-operative medication costs are around several hundred yuan. Therefore, it can be said that the costs of induced abortion and medication abortion are similar, but the safety of induced abortion is significantly higher than that of medication abortion. The success rate of medication abortion is relatively low, only 75% (compared to over 99% for painless induced abortion), and if medication abortion is not effective, immediate hospitalization is required for a procedure, which is essentially another induced abortion. We recommend choosing induced abortion.
