Which is more harmful, artificial abortion or medical abortion? Comparison of artificial abortion and medical abortion in four aspects

Surgical abortion and medical abortion are both very common. These are common choices for women to have an abortion. Depending on the needs of women, the choice of surgical abortion and medical abortion is also different. The most common one is surgical abortion, which is simple and does not take long. So which is more harmful, surgical abortion or medical abortion? This is something many people are not clear about. The following is a detailed introduction so that you can have some understanding of this issue.

Is artificial abortion more harmful or medical abortion more harmful?

1. Comparison of success rates

The success rate of medical abortion is about 75%. If the abortion is not complete, the remaining fetal membrane tissue will cause hemorrhage, and you must be hospitalized for curettage immediately, otherwise your life will be in danger.

The success rate of artificial abortion can reach 90%, and there are few cases of incomplete abortion. If something goes wrong during the operation, the patient will respond immediately and can receive effective treatment in time. The success rate of artificial abortion is much higher than that of medical abortion.

2. Price comparison

The fees required for medical abortion include examination fees, required drug fees, and post-operative anti-inflammatory fees. However, medical abortions are often not complete and will bring many sequelae, which require special treatment. In this way, the price of medical abortion may even be higher than that of surgical abortion.

Abortion includes the cost of preliminary examination, anesthesia, surgery, postoperative medication, etc. However, scientific and safe abortion has fewer complications, and there will be no incomplete abortion. There is no need to spend money on special treatment after the operation.

3. Comparison of injury degree

Medical abortion has less damage to the cervix, but it often causes digestive tract reactions such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and may also cause endometriosis, fallopian tube obstruction, and uterine adhesions. If the medical abortion is not complete, a curettage is required, which is a great harm to women's physical and mental health.

The painless abortion technique uses a micro-tube to aspirate the uterus, which is relatively harmless to the cervix and does not cause the side effects of medical abortion. Due to the use of visual technology, there is basically no uterine perforation, and other complications such as endometriosis, fallopian tube obstruction, uterine adhesions, and gynecological infections are less common than medical abortion.

4. Comparison of recovery

After medical abortion, vaginal bleeding continues and the bleeding time is long. In addition, during the bleeding period, it is very easy to induce gynecological inflammations such as vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, etc., causing fallopian tube obstruction, secondary infertility, and some will also leave sequelae such as back pain and abdominal pain.

The abortion procedure only takes a few minutes, and you can be discharged from the hospital after half an hour of rest. If you pay attention to rest and nutrition after the abortion, other complications will rarely occur.

After understanding whether surgical abortion or medical abortion is more harmful, women should be cautious when having an abortion. When a woman is pregnant for the first time, she should try not to choose abortion, otherwise it will easily cause harm to her health and will also affect the next pregnancy. Women should also pay attention to this.
