Which is more harmful, abortion by surgery or by medicine?

Unexpected pregnancy is nothing new. Some women get married with the baby, while others can only have an abortion. Abortion can be divided into medical abortion and surgical abortion. Medical abortion is to terminate the pregnancy through oral medication, while surgical abortion is to terminate the pregnancy through surgery. Regardless of the method, the impact on women's physical health is very great. The degree of harm of these two methods to pregnant women is the same, and patients can use both methods. Which is more harmful, surgical abortion or medical abortion?

1. Compared with surgical abortion, medical abortion is the natural expulsion of the gestational sac from the body under the action of drugs, which causes less damage to the uterus, but has a failure rate of about 10%. If medical abortion fails, uterine curettage is required, which is equivalent to two abortions. The success rate of surgical abortion is high, but because the gestational sac is removed by instruments, it is slightly more damaging.

2. If the pregnancy is confirmed by B-ultrasound examination, it is a normal intrauterine pregnancy and medical abortion can be performed within 7 weeks of pregnancy, while surgical abortion can be performed within 10 weeks of pregnancy. The best time for abortion is 6-8 weeks of pregnancy. If it is less than 5 weeks, the operation will be more difficult, and if it is more than 8 weeks, the damage to the uterus will be greater.

3. The success rate of surgical abortion is higher than that of medical abortion. When medical abortion is incomplete, uterine curettage is required. However, no matter which method of abortion is used, it will damage the body and uterus. It is recommended to consider abortion carefully. Moreover, repeated abortions can increase the incidence of gynecological inflammation, infertility and ectopic pregnancy.

4. Abortion affects the uterus's ability to recover, endocrine system and other aspects. Late pregnancy is prone to miscarriage, menstrual disorders, pelvic inflammatory disease and other gynecological diseases. The success rate of medical abortion is between 75% and 90%. B-ultrasound should be repeated 1-2 weeks after the abortion to confirm whether the abortion was complete. If it fails, uterine curettage should be performed. Painless abortion is relatively safer. I should be more careful next time. The one who suffers is yourself.

The above simply explains which is more harmful, surgical abortion or medical abortion. Whether it is a surgical abortion or a medical abortion, it is very important to take care of your body after the abortion. You must pay attention to rest within two weeks after the abortion. You must pay more attention to your diet, mainly light food, avoid spicy and irritating food, pay attention to personal hygiene, and prevent vaginal infection. Your personal hygiene must be maintained in good condition.
