Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
You can choose between medication abortion or surgical abortion. For medication abortion, the pregnancy must be within 49 days. Medication abortion avoids the pain of surgical abortion, which is the main difference between the two. However, there are also some drawbacks. Medication abortion may not be completely effective, meaning the embryo might not be expelled in one go, leading to residual tissue. In such cases, a second procedure, known as a D&C (dilation and curettage), may be required.
