Which method is better, surgical or medical abortion?

Many women may consider medical abortion because they are embarrassed or want to save money instead of going to the hospital for artificial abortion. Which method is better, artificial abortion or medical abortion, is also a question of concern to everyone. Below we ask gynecologists to analyze the difference between artificial abortion and medical abortion for everyone

The difference between artificial abortion and medical abortion is that during medical abortion, no instrument enters the uterus, so the possibility of infection after abortion is relatively small, and the possibility of endometrial injury is also small. During artificial abortion, the suction device must enter the uterine cavity and scrape out the attachments on the inner wall of the uterus. If the doctor performing the operation is experienced, the endometrium will not be injured, but if the operation is improper, the endometrium will be damaged.

The time of abortion is also one of the differences between artificial abortion and medical abortion. The key to medical abortion is to do it early, so people with regular menstrual cycles can find out immediately after pregnancy. Medical abortion is suitable for early pregnancy (39 to 49 days from the first day of the last menstrual period), and artificial abortion is suitable for pregnant women within 14 weeks of pregnancy. Before medical abortion, you must do a B-ultrasound examination to first rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy; secondly, measure the size of the gestational sac. A gestational sac larger than 2.3 cm is not suitable for medical abortion.

In addition, the abortion process is also the difference between artificial abortion and medical abortion. The whole process of medical abortion is relatively long. You need to take medicine at home for 3 days first, and then take medicine to open the cervix 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 has been expelled from the body. Artificial abortion only takes a few minutes. Another point to remind everyone is that medical abortion has a 5% failure rate. If it is unsuccessful, artificial abortion is still needed.
