Patient's question:
Hello, I really want to understand what a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure is, and which of the three options—D&C, medication abortion, and surgical abortion—is less harmful.Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, medication abortion is less harmful, but there is a possibility that it may not be completely effective. Therefore, both have their pros and cons. Based on my personal opinion, I advocate for surgical abortion, as it is relatively safer. With proper care and attention to infection prevention, recovery can be quick.
