Which is less harmful, medical abortion or artificial abortion? Let's take a look

Abortion will cause certain harm to women, but if the gestational period is short, the harm of medical abortion will be relatively small. If the gestational period is long, the harm of artificial abortion will be relatively small. At this time, medical abortion is prone to failure and women will suffer secondary harm.

Many women choose to have an abortion to solve the problem after an unexpected pregnancy. Abortion is divided into artificial abortion and medical abortion. Both methods have certain limitations and require women to be pregnant within a fixed period of time, so as to reduce the harm of abortion to women. So, which one is less harmful, medical abortion or artificial abortion?
Medical abortion is very simple and does little harm to the body. However, if the gestational age is too high, there is a high chance that the medical abortion will fail. In this case, artificial abortion is recommended. However, if the gestational age is relatively low, medical abortion can be considered. However, it needs to be performed under the guidance of a professional doctor and cannot be performed by yourself to prevent accidents. Medical abortion has the risk of incomplete abortion. If the embryo is not completely expelled, it needs to be removed through a uterine curettage.
It’s just that the risk of incomplete medical abortion is slightly higher than that of artificial abortion, especially for some women who have experienced pregnancy. Medical abortion is a complete abortion that most people can achieve under the effect of drugs, without surgery. The incidence of incomplete abortion and failed abortion is about 10%, so some complications caused by our uterine cavity operation can be avoided to a certain extent. However, as the number of artificial abortions increases, its failure rate will gradually increase. A small number of cases still require surgery to terminate the pregnancy.
In addition, the choice of abortion is not based on one's own preferences. Each method has its indications. Only when the specific conditions of this method are met can this method be chosen. Artificial abortion is suitable for pregnant women within 3 months of intrauterine pregnancy. The most common methods are vacuum aspiration, forceps curettage, etc. Medical abortion is suitable for women with intrauterine pregnancy time less than 49 days, and requires combined drug treatment.
Whether it is medical abortion or artificial abortion, it will cause certain harm to women. Pregnant women who want to have an abortion need to go to a regular hospital and receive professional medical advice to prevent accidents during the abortion process and cause infertility.
