Which is less harmful, surgical abortion or medical abortion? Let's find out

Generally speaking, many women who have an unexpected pregnancy will choose surgical or medical abortion to terminate the pregnancy, but they often do not know that medical abortion is very harmful. Surgical abortion not only causes less harm, but is also easy to recover, so it is a better abortion procedure. Let's discuss which one causes less harm, surgical or medical abortion.

First of all, artificial abortion is less harmful than medical abortion. According to experts, artificial abortion is generally better within the 12th week of pregnancy, and the earlier it is performed, the better. Compared with medical abortion, artificial abortion has the advantages of quick effect, high success rate, and anesthetic drugs can be excreted from the body quickly, and the security is far higher than that of medical abortion. As long as you pay attention to conditioning and care after the abortion operation, it will generally have no effect on the body.

However, medical abortion is different. After the medical abortion, many complications will occur. Generally speaking, medical abortion will be performed within seven weeks of pregnancy. By taking drugs, the gestational sac will flow out of the body. The harm of medical abortion is relatively large. It is particularly easy to cause incomplete outflow of the embryo, and there will be remnants left in the uterus. If it remains in the uterus for a long time, it is easy to cause intrauterine infection, damage to the endometrium, and then cause blockage of the fallopian tubes. In severe cases, it will cause infertility. In addition, medical abortion also has certain damage to liver function, and will have a certain impact on women's endocrine, fertility, etc. Moreover, the success rate of medical abortion is not particularly high. If a woman who fails to take the medicine or is sensitive to the medicine has a wrong medical abortion, it will cause lifelong infertility in women. Its side effects also include long bleeding time and a lot of bleeding after medical abortion. Some women even have about a month. If the medical abortion fails, it will also be necessary to do a uterine curettage, which will cause more serious harm to women.

Therefore, if a woman wants to have an abortion, it is best to choose a surgical abortion, which can minimize the damage to her body. However, no matter what kind of abortion surgery is performed, it is necessary to do relevant examinations in a regular hospital in advance, and the abortion surgery can only be performed when all indicators are normal.
