The pros and cons of medical abortion and painless abortion

Abortion is a method to terminate childbirth. There are many methods of abortion, including surgical abortion and medical abortion. It can be said that the two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. When choosing, you must listen to the doctor's advice. The advantage of medical abortion is that it does not require surgery, but it also has disadvantages, which is that it can easily lead to incomplete abortion and cause residues. Abortion is mainly performed through surgery, and if it is not done properly, it can also cause adverse effects.

The pros and cons of medical abortion and painless abortion

Medical abortion is usually performed within 49 days of amenorrhea, but it can easily cause excessive bleeding, so it must be performed in a regular hospital to ensure the safety of women's lives. The time for painless abortion is within 35-55 days. At this time, the uterus is not too large, and the operation generally does not require cervical dilation, so the impact on the body is relatively small.

Comparing the two abortion methods, medical abortion does not require surgery, so there is no possibility of infection during the operation, and the chance of infection after the operation is also relatively small. However, it takes a long time for medical abortion to occur. Prolonged vaginal bleeding provides favorable conditions for bacterial growth. Moreover, the internal os of the cervix is ​​in a relaxed state after medical abortion, which can easily cause bacterial infection and thus cause pelvic inflammatory disease. The most important thing is that the failure rate of medical abortion is relatively high, and after failure, uterine curettage surgery is required, which further harms the body.

Painless abortion is relatively safe. With current medical technology, not only will the patient not feel pain during the operation, but the entire operation is performed under visual conditions, which provides favorable conditions for the safety of the operation. Therefore, for women who are diagnosed with an unexpected pregnancy and want to have an abortion, it is best to choose a painless abortion.

Pros and cons of medical abortion

What are the advantages of medical abortion? First of all, it is very convenient. You can take the medicine at home, without surgery, with little pain and reliable effect. It can avoid some complications caused by artificial abortion, such as uterine perforation, surgical stimulation causing heart rhythm disorders, and even fainting. It is especially safe for women with scarred uterus, lactating uterus, and uterine malformation. However, medical abortion also has many disadvantages. About 20% of patients who undergo medical abortion experience prolonged bleeding after the abortion, which can be as long as 1-2 months. In the end, they have to have a curettage (called uterine curettage), which increases the chance of infection. Other adverse reactions include transient lower abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, etc.

Women should pay attention to the following matters after miscarriage :

(1) Medical abortion is only suitable for women who become pregnant within 50 days of amenorrhea.
