Which one causes the least harm, surgical abortion or medical abortion?

Medical abortion, also known as medical abortion, refers to the use of injections or medication to achieve the purpose of abortion in the early stages of pregnancy without surgery. Medical abortion is suitable for healthy women diagnosed with early pregnancy within 49 days of menopause. It is also suitable for those high-risk pregnancies that are not suitable for surgical abortion, and for women who are afraid of surgical abortion. Medical abortion is generally considered a successful abortion, but it takes time to gradually expel the decidua to ensure the recovery of the uterus.

Surgical abortion is often referred to as "abortion surgery". Within 12 weeks of pregnancy, vacuum suction is usually used to complete the abortion, that is, a hollow suction tube is used to enter the uterine cavity and the embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity is sucked out by vacuum. In most cases, artificial abortion is quite safe and reliable. But as long as it is a surgery, there will be accidents, injuries and side effects.

Although artificial abortion is a minor operation, it may cause heavy bleeding during the operation, which may also lead to incomplete abortion and the need for a second curettage. Some pregnant women may also experience artificial abortion syndrome, hypotension, slow heart rate, sweating, etc. Multiple abortions will cause repeated scratching of the endometrium, thinning the uterine wall, leading to serious consequences such as oligomenorrhea, gynecological inflammation, lifelong infertility, and even death.

From the above comparison, it can be seen that both medical abortion and artificial abortion have their own disadvantages, each abortion has its own risks and complications, and each abortion has the risk of causing infertility. Medical abortion is less traumatic, but the possibility of residual is greater. Abortion is more traumatic, but the success rate is higher.
