Is abortion pills better or is abortion surgery better? A comprehensive comparison of abortion pills and abortion surgery

Both abortion pills and surgical abortion will cause certain harm to the body, it just depends on the extent of the harm. Generally, hospitals will recommend surgical abortion. Although medical abortion is convenient, if the abortion does not work well, you may have to go to the hospital for a second curettage. Today we will talk to you about whether abortion pills or surgical abortion is better, and which method is less harmful.

Compared with medical abortion, no instrument enters the uterus during medical abortion, 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 is experienced, the endometrium will not be injured, but if the operation is improper, the endometrium will be damaged. The endometrium is like a "field". If the endometrium is scarred, the seeds may not have the soil to grow and develop in the future.

The key to medical abortion is to do it early, so people with regular menstrual cycles can find out immediately after pregnancy. The applicable time for medical abortion is in the early stage of pregnancy (39 to 49 days from the first day of the last menstrual period). Before medical abortion, you must do a B-ultrasound examination. First, you must rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy; secondly, you must measure the size of the fetal sac. Those with a fetal sac larger than 2.3 cm are not suitable for medical abortion. In addition, the entire process of medical abortion is relatively long. You need to take medicine at home for 3 days first, and then take the medicine to open the cervix in the hospital on the day of abortion. After observation in the hospital for several hours, the doctor will confirm whether the fetal sac has been expelled from the body. Another point to remind everyone is that medical abortion has a 5% failure rate. If it is unsuccessful, you will need to do an artificial abortion to remedy it.

The bleeding time after medical abortion is relatively long. If the bleeding continues for more than 1 week, you must go to the hospital immediately and ask the doctor for help. It is very dangerous to take medicine to abort by yourself.

In addition to considering future fertility issues and choosing medical abortion, it is also safer for breastfeeding women with a softer uterus to choose medical abortion. Women who have had cesarean sections have scars on their uteruses, and women with uterine fibroids may have changes in the shape of their uteruses. In these two cases, it is more difficult to perform artificial abortion surgery, so medical abortion can also be considered.

I believe that the above content has given everyone a judgment on the options of abortion pills and artificial abortion. Now many college students will choose medical abortion because it does not cost too much money and is convenient and does not require going to the hospital. However, experts still recommend that everyone choose artificial abortion, which is more reliable.
