For women who need to terminate their pregnancy, they often don't know whether to choose medical abortion or surgical abortion. The main reason is that many women don't know which is safer, medical abortion or surgical abortion, which abortion method is the least harmful to the body, and how to choose the abortion method that suits them. So which one is more reliable, medical abortion or surgical abortion?

Which is safer, medical abortion or surgical abortion?

Medical abortion is usually performed within 49 days of amenorrhea, but it can easily cause excessive bleeding and needs to be performed under the supervision of medical staff in a regular hospital. Abortion is performed within 35-55 days. At this time, the uterus is not large, there is not much pregnancy tissue, and the fetus is small, so it is very easy to suck out. There is no need to dilate the cervix. The operation time is short, there is little bleeding, and the impact on the human body is small.

Generally speaking, medical abortion does not require surgical treatment, so there is no possibility of infection during the operation, and the chance of infection after the operation is also relatively small. However, the bleeding time after medical abortion is relatively long. Long-term vaginal bleeding provides resource advantages for the growth of bacteria, and the internal opening of the cervix after medical abortion is also in a relaxed state, which can easily cause bacterial infection and thus cause pelvic inflammatory disease. However, the failure rate of medical abortion is relatively high and a curettage and dilation surgery is required.

Abortion is relatively safe. Not only will the patient not feel pain during the operation, but the entire operation is performed under visibility, which provides a resource advantage for the safety of the operation. Therefore, on the whole, artificial abortion is safer than medical abortion.

Which abortion method is better?

Medical abortion: Advantages: High cost-effectiveness and suitable for those in early pregnancy. Disadvantages: the medication takes a long time, there is pain during miscarriage, the feces may not be completely discharged, so the bleeding time is long, and the success rate is only about 85%. Therefore, it is possible to bring bacteria in the cervical canal into the uterine cavity, causing pelvic inflammation.

Abortion: Due to the development of medical technology, the abortion methods nowadays have the advantages of being visible, painless, fast and minimally invasive to the human body. Therefore, painless abortion is now the first choice for miscarriage. However, the disadvantage is that it is more expensive than medical abortion. Like other surgical treatments, infection after abortion is an issue that must be fully considered, and antibiotics must be taken regularly after the operation to prevent it.

In fact, no matter which abortion method is used, it will have certain harm to women's body. But I hope that after the introduction, female friends can better understand the relevant knowledge of medical abortion and surgical abortion, and then make appropriate choices according to their own specific circumstances. Finally, no matter which abortion method you choose, you must pay attention to the maintenance and conditioning after the abortion, which is conducive to the body's recovery.
