Which is less harmful, medical abortion or surgical abortion?

At present, as society becomes more and more open, more and more couples often get pregnant accidentally, but young couples are not ready to be parents yet, so they can only go to the hospital for abortion. However, there are many types of abortion surgeries now, and some doctors will recommend medical abortion at an earlier time. So, which one is more harmful to the body, medical abortion or surgical abortion? Let's take a look now.

Compared with medical abortion, no instrument enters the uterus during medical abortion, so the possibility of infection after abortion is relatively small, and the possibility of endometrial injury is also small. During artificial abortion, the suction device must enter the uterine cavity and scrape out the attachments on the inner wall of the uterus. If the doctor is experienced, the endometrium will not be injured, but if the operation is improper, the endometrium will be damaged. The endometrium is like a "field". If the endometrium is scarred, the "seeds" may not have the "soil" to grow and develop in the future.

The key to medical abortion is to do it early, so people with regular menstrual cycles can find out immediately after pregnancy. Medical abortion is applicable in the early stages of pregnancy (39 to 49 days from the first day of the last menstrual period). Before medical abortion, you must do an ultrasound examination to first rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy; secondly, measure the size of the gestational sac. Those with a gestational sac larger than 2.3 cm are not suitable for medical abortion. In addition, the entire process of medical abortion is relatively long. You need to take medicine for 2 or 3 days first, and then take the medicine to open the cervix in the hospital on the day of abortion. After several hours of observation in the hospital, the doctor will confirm whether the gestational sac has been expelled from the body.

However, the biggest risk of medical abortion is that it is easy to have an incomplete abortion, which may lead to a second uterine curettage for women. The cost is relatively low, while painless abortion only operates on the position of the gestational sac without harming other tissues in the uterine cavity, but the cost is relatively high.

After reading the article, if you are financially well-off and are afraid that medical abortion may not be complete, you should still choose surgical abortion. However, both methods of abortion are very harmful to the body, so you should take safety measures in the future to try to avoid this situation.
