Patient's question:
Hello, Doctor! I had a medication abortion in July 2015, but it wasn't completely effective, so I underwent a Dilation and Curettage (D&C) procedure.In October 2015, due to concerns about the medication abortion not being thorough, I had another painless abortion.
I became pregnant again in January 2016 and wanted to have a child, but I was worried about the effects of the previous procedures. Now I am 38 days pregnant. Could you please advise which method of abortion would be better this time—medication or surgical?
Follow-up question: Hello, Doctor! If I choose medication abortion this time, what if it doesn’t work and I have to undergo another D&C procedure? This would be a heavy psychological burden for me.
Doctor's answer:
The above medication has no adverse effects on the fetus. If you haven't taken any other medications, I suggest you do not have an abortion. Because frequent abortions can lead to habitual abortion. Then you will regret it. If you insist on having an abortion, both options are available.
