Patient's question:
Which is better, artificial abortion or medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
The time for medication abortion must be within 49 days, and medication abortion can be chosen. Medication abortion avoids the pain of surgical abortion, which is also the difference between medication abortion and surgical abortion. However, there are also some disadvantages. Medication abortion may not be completely effective, meaning it is possible that the embryo cannot be expelled in one go, which can cause residual tissue, requiring a second procedure to clear the uterus.Methods for surgical abortion include vacuum aspiration and forceps curettage. The difference between medication abortion and surgical abortion is that surgical abortion is more painful than medication abortion, but it is easier to clear completely. Both medication abortion and surgical abortion are harmful to the body. It is recommended to have an ultrasound examination at the hospital to rule out ectopic pregnancy before choosing an abortion method.
