Is it better to have a curettage or medical abortion? What are the dangers?

Both curettage and medical abortion can cause damage to the uterus, but compared with curettage, medical abortion will cause less damage, but it may also cause vaginal and pelvic infections. However, curettage will not only weaken the function of the endometrium, but may also cause serious consequences such as uterine bleeding and habitual abortion.

Both curettage and medical abortion are currently common methods of terminating pregnancy in clinical practice, and the corresponding indications of different measures are also different. Under normal circumstances, medical abortion can basically be chosen within 49 days of pregnancy. However, for people with contraindications to medical abortion, they can only choose surgical abortion with curettage. So is curettage or medical abortion better?
1. Is it better to have a curettage or medical abortion ?<br/>Although both curettage and medical abortion can cause considerable harm to the body, if medical abortion can leave no embryonic tissue and completely abort the fetus, medical abortion will cause less damage to the uterus. Because curettage is usually required when the pregnancy is advanced or the medical abortion is incomplete. After curettage, it is very likely to affect the thickness of the endometrium. If the endometrium is too thin, it will not only affect the menstrual volume, but may also cause infertility. However, both medical abortion and curettage may cause secondary infections, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, so they need to be carefully observed.
2. What are the hazards of curettage?
1. Uterine bleeding <br/>Repeated curettage will not only weaken the function of the endometrium, but may even cause endometrial perforation, leading to bleeding and even life-threatening situations.
2. Susceptible to infection <br/>Curvation and curettage may lead to a decrease in the immunity of the intrauterine environment, thereby increasing the probability of infection, such as endometrial infection, urinary tract infection and other diseases.
3. Habitual miscarriage <br/>When the endometrium becomes thinner due to curettage, it will be unfavorable for the implantation of the fertilized egg, which can easily lead to miscarriage or premature birth, or even infertility.
3. What are the hazards of medical abortion?
1. Damage to the endometrium <br/>Drugs can damage the endometrium. Repeated medical abortions can cause damage to the endometrium, leading to problems such as intrauterine adhesions, thin endometrium, and infertility.
2. Cause inflammation <br/>During the process of medical abortion, bacteria can easily enter the vagina and cause cross-infection between the vagina and the pelvic cavity.
