Is medical abortion better for women or surgical abortion?

How should women who are pregnant unexpectedly have an abortion? There are many ways to have an abortion now, the most important ones are medical abortion and surgical abortion. So if this happens, is it better to have a medical abortion or a surgical abortion? Let me briefly tell you which of the above two abortion methods is more thorough. The difference between the two will be very clear. So what is the difference between the two?

Compared with artificial abortion and medical abortion, no instrument enters the uterus during medical abortion, the possibility of infection after abortion is relatively small, and the possibility of endometrial injury is also small.

The key to having a medical abortion is to do it early, so people with regular menstrual cycles can detect pregnancy immediately. Medical abortion is applicable in the early stages of pregnancy (39 to 49 days from the first day of the last menstrual period).

Before undergoing medical abortion, an ultrasound examination must be performed to first rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy; secondly, the size of the gestational sac must be measured. A gestational sac larger than 2.3 cm is not suitable for medical abortion. In addition, the entire process of medical abortion is relatively long. You need to take medicine for 2 or 3 days first, and then take cervical dilation drugs in the hospital on the day of abortion. You will be observed in the hospital for several hours and the doctor will confirm whether the fetal sac is expelled from the body. Another point we would like to remind everyone is that medical abortion has a 5% failure rate. If it is unsuccessful, artificial abortion will be needed to remedy the situation.

The bleeding time after medical abortion is relatively long. If the bleeding continues for more than 1 week, you must go to the hospital immediately and ask the doctor for help. Taking medication on your own to induce an abortion is very dangerous.

Both medical abortion and surgical abortion will cause some harm to women's bodies. Both can achieve the effect of abortion, but some people are not suitable for medical abortion due to physical reasons, so they need to have a surgical abortion. Nowadays, painless abortion has reduced a lot of pain for many women, and the effect of medical abortion is also good, but there are also some adverse reactions.
