Patient's question:
I'm only 27 years old this year, and I accidentally got pregnant. But now I don't want this child. After doing some research, I found there are two types of abortions: medication abortion and surgical abortion. It seems that more people are choosing surgical abortion without anesthesia now. I'm also planning to have an abortion, but I'm not sure whether surgical abortion is better or medication abortion is better. Which one causes more harm, or which one causes less harm? Which one is better. Which type of abortion causes more harm, and which one is better?Doctor's answer:
Hello, induced abortion is a traumatic surgery that can lead to uterine atony, causing persistent postoperative bleeding. Some young women with a short gestation period and severe uterine retroflexion may experience incomplete abortion, which can also result in persistent postoperative bleeding. If a second dilation and curettage (D&C) is performed for hemostasis, it may lead to adhesion healing of the uterine wall. If induced abortion causes damage to the uterine muscle layer, thinning of the uterine wall, and subsequent pregnancy due to placental circulatory disorders, placental dysfunction, and placental adhesion, it can not only lead to hemorrhagic shock but also cause stillbirth and neonatal death.
