Which is more harmful, abortion or abortion? The difference between induced abortion and artificial abortion

With the development of modern science and technology, there are many ways for women to get rid of their unborn babies. In the past, if you had a baby, you had to give birth to it. Now women have their own autonomy and can choose not to have a baby if they want. If the baby is young, you can choose abortion, and if the baby is old, you can choose induced labor. So which one is more harmful, abortion or induced labor?

1. Which is more harmful, induced abortion or artificial abortion?

Induced abortion causes greater harm. Abortion is a way to end a pregnancy in the early stages of pregnancy, while induced abortion is a way to end a pregnancy in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. The harm in the later stages is definitely greater than that in the early stages, so if you do not plan to continue the pregnancy, you should end the pregnancy as soon as possible.

In the case of abortion, the pregnancy period is short and the fetus is not yet formed, so the harm to the body is relatively small; induced labor refers to a pregnancy of more than three months, when the fetus is relatively complete. Such an operation is more dangerous and is not good for future fertility. To put it more professionally, artificial abortion is the act of artificially ending the pregnancy within three months of pregnancy, and induced labor is the act of artificially ending the pregnancy after three months of pregnancy.

2. The difference between induced labor and artificial abortion

The common point between induced labor and abortion is that they both terminate pregnancy.

1. Different concepts

(1) Induction of labor: Induction of labor is a method of inducing labor through artificial means. When inducing labor, the doctor will use oxytocin, which is a hormone that is naturally produced by the human body during the labor process. It prompts the mother's uterus to contract and give birth. Sometimes it is combined with rupture of amniotomy to induce labor.

Doctors generally only require induced labor in special circumstances, such as when the best time for abortion is missed and the baby is not wanted, when the due date has passed a long time ago, when the pregnant woman has diabetes or the fetus has an infection, when the amniotic membrane ruptures prematurely, etc. If induced labor does not work, the doctor will perform a cesarean section to remove the fetus.

(2) Artificial abortion: Artificial abortion refers to the use of artificial methods to remove the undeveloped embryo and placenta from the uterus before the 12th week of pregnancy, thereby achieving the purpose of ending the pregnancy. Artificial abortion is generally not suitable for women with certain inflammatory diseases and pregnancy complications. It is only suitable for women who can continue their pregnancy and those whose contraception has failed.

2. The best time is different

(1) The best time for abortion: within 10 weeks of pregnancy.

Generally, the best time for abortion is within 10 weeks of pregnancy, between 10 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. As the fetus grows slowly, the placenta has taken shape, and the uterus also grows, it is recommended to have a minimally invasive, visual, and painless abortion at this time to ensure safety.

Therefore, the earlier the abortion is performed, the simpler and safer it will be; otherwise, the operation will be complicated and the recovery time will be longer.

(2) The best time for induction of labor: within 12-24 weeks of pregnancy, the earlier the better.

Generally, the best time to induce labor is within 12-24 weeks of pregnancy, using artificial methods to terminate the pregnancy, which is called mid-term induced labor. Mid-term induced labor is more difficult and has more complications than early artificial abortion, so it is best to do early artificial abortion as much as possible.

This article introduces in detail which is more harmful, abortion or induced labor, and also introduces the difference between abortion and induced labor. If you are a pregnant woman, if you want to get rid of your child, then you can choose the method that suits you. Abortion for younger months, induced labor for older months. But it should be noted that induced labor is more harmful.
