Which is more harmful, abortion or induced labor?

Giving birth to life is a beautiful and wonderful thing, but in life, many women cannot give birth to babies for one reason or another, so they choose abortion or induced labor. It is well known that no matter which method is used to terminate pregnancy, it will cause certain harm to our body. So, which one is more harmful, abortion or induced 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 produced naturally by the human body during the delivery process to induce the mother's uterus to contract and give birth. Sometimes it is combined with rupture of amniotomy to induce labor.

Artificial abortion refers to the use of artificial methods to remove the embryo and placenta that have not yet fully developed from the uterus before the 12th week of pregnancy, so as to achieve the purpose of ending the pregnancy. Artificial abortion is generally not suitable for women with certain inflammatory diseases and pregnancy complications, but only for women who can continue to be pregnant and those whose contraception has failed.

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.
