Patient's question:
I want to know if there is a difference between induced abortion and spontaneous abortion.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Generally, it is divided into mid-pregnancy induction and late-pregnancy induction. Mid-pregnancy induction is more commonly performed using RU-486 (mifepristone). Late-pregnancy induction occurs in the later stages of pregnancy, where measures are taken to induce uterine contractions to end delivery due to complications in the mother or fetal issues. There are many methods for late-pregnancy induction, such as artificial rupture of membranes, intravenous oxytocin, and RU-486 combined with prostaglandins, etc. Women who have undergone induction and those who have given birth naturally both have a "type I" cervix, and this cannot be distinguished during examinations.
