Patient's question:
Is the physical harm of medication abortion less than that of induced abortion? I'm afraid it will affect fertility in the future.Doctor's answer:
The success rate of medication abortion is relatively low, approximately around 75%. The main forms of medication abortion failure include incomplete abortion. If an incomplete abortion occurs, residual fetal membrane tissue can lead to severe bleeding (hemorrhage), requiring immediate hospitalization for a secondary Dilation and Curettage (D&C) to clear the remaining tissue. Otherwise, it can be life-threatening. In cases of incomplete medication abortion, a secondary D&C is often necessary, causing women to endure another round of suffering. In contrast to medication abortion, surgical abortion (D&C) uses intravenous anesthesia, reducing pain during the procedure. Currently, painless surgical abortion offers features such as safety, speed, zero harm, zero pain, zero postoperative complications, preserving the uterine health, and early termination of pregnancy, completely solving the pain and high complication rates associated with traditional surgery.Recommendation: Whether choosing medication abortion or surgical abortion, both are effective methods for terminating pregnancy, but they differ in the extent of physical impact. Regardless of the method chosen, it is essential to undergo the procedure at a reputable and (officially certified) medical facility. It is recommended to opt for the most popular and least harmful technique, such as the Anshoubao painless abortion method. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
