Which one is less harmful to the body, medical abortion or surgical abortion

Both medical abortion and surgical abortion are methods of abortion for early pregnancy. Compared with the two, medical abortion causes less harm to the body.

1. Medical abortion: It mainly involves taking drugs such as mifepristone and misoprostol to expel the embryonic tissue from the body. Because there is no mechanical operation, it is less harmful to the female body. However, it should be noted that there may be a risk of incomplete abortion, and a uterine curettage operation is required.

2. Abortion: Generally refers to artificial abortion surgery, which is mainly performed under the guidance of ultrasound. It can remove embryonic tissue from the uterus through methods such as suction and curettage. Because this is a mechanical operation, anesthesia is required, and it will also damage the endometrium, increase the risk of cervical laceration, uterine perforation, uterine adhesion, and even affect future menstruation and fertility.

From this, we can judge that both methods of abortion have risks and harm to the human body, but in comparison, medical abortion will cause less harm to the body. No matter which method of terminating pregnancy is adopted, strict indications are required. Go to the hospital to consult a doctor and undergo a comprehensive examination and evaluation to ensure that the abortion method suitable for you is selected.
