Patient's question:
Now, only nearly a month has passed since taking medicine abortion and surgical abortion, which one is less harmful to the body?Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion is suitable for pregnancies within 49 days, where medication is taken to induce a miscarriage. However, there is a risk of incomplete miscarriage, which may lead to heavy bleeding. Therefore, it is generally recommended to follow up with a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure after medication abortion.Manual abortion is suitable for pregnancies within 12 weeks, where a tool is used to scrape the embryo out of the uterus. It causes significant damage to the uterus, so it is not advisable to have multiple manual abortions.
It's hard to say which method is better. If medication abortion is not complete and requires a D&C, it can also cause significant harm to the body.
