Which is less harmful, medical abortion or surgical abortion?

Nowadays, unexpected pregnancy has become a very common phenomenon. Many people cannot give birth to children for some reasons. Within a certain period of time, they will choose to abort the child, which is what we call abortion. Abortion helps people selectively select the genes of the next generation so that children with defects will not be born. Make the family happier and avoid tragedies.

But as a woman, you must be responsible for yourself and you should understand what to do after an unexpected pregnancy. As a man, you should understand this better. Only in this way can one shoulder the burden of a family. Only by understanding it clearly can you make a more rational choice when you encounter this situation.

The most common methods of abortion are medical abortion and artificial abortion, both of which are abnormal methods of terminating pregnancy and are remedial measures taken by women with unwanted pregnancies due to contraceptive failure. Both cause varying degrees of damage to the body.

Medical abortion means that the pregnancy time must be within 49 days. Medical abortion can be chosen. Medical abortion avoids the pain of artificial abortion. This is also the biggest difference between medical abortion and surgical abortion. However, there are also some disadvantages. Medical abortion has the phenomenon of incomplete abortion, that is, the embryo cannot be expelled at one time, which will cause residue, so a second uterine cleaning is required.

Artificial abortion: The methods used include vacuum suction abortion and forceps curettage. Within 10 weeks of pregnancy, a device with a negative pressure of 400 to 500 mm Hg is used to suck out the embryonic tissue in the uterus. The difference between medical abortion and artificial abortion is that artificial abortion is more painful than medical abortion, but easier to clean.

Painless abortion refers to a surgical abortion that terminates a pregnancy within 10 weeks of gestation through artificial means and intravenous anesthesia. It is a remedial measure for women after contraceptive failure. Painless abortion is painless and fear-free, and is currently the best choice among abortion methods. Characteristics of painless abortion: 1: No pain, no fear, it is the best choice among current abortion methods; 2: Short bleeding days and small total amount, which is conducive to physical recovery; 3: Short time, no too much time is spent on medical treatment, and no delay in work and study; 4: No drug residue and side effects; 5: Advanced treatment instruments and complete testing equipment are used during the operation, and it is implemented personally by full-time doctors.

Medical abortion is a process in which drugs are used to prevent the fetal sac from continuing the pregnancy in the uterine cavity and expel it from the body. When a woman becomes pregnant, her body produces a hormone called progesterone, which is a necessary factor in maintaining pregnancy. Abortion drugs bind to the progesterone receptors in the body, reducing the activity of progesterone in the body. Once the body lacks progesterone, it will cause miscarriage. Abortion drugs can cause the uterus to contract strongly, forcing the pregnancy tissue out of the body. Its disadvantages are: it is not safe and may easily lead to incomplete medicines.

Compared with artificial abortion, medical abortion does not require surgical operation, and there is no possibility of artificially introducing bacteria into the uterine cavity, so the chance of postoperative infection will be relatively reduced. However, the bleeding time after medical abortion is relatively long, averaging 18 days ± 11 days. Prolonged vaginal bleeding provides fertile ground for the growth and reproduction of bacteria. Due to the effects of drugs and continuous vaginal bleeding, the internal opening of the cervix is ​​also in a relaxed state. If there is an ascending bacterial infection at this time, it will also cause pelvic inflammation.

The harm of abortion is enormous. If it is not necessary, please cherish your child, understand your physical condition clearly, and make the right choice when necessary. But if you have to choose abortion, please take good care of your body and remember to take contraceptive measures in your future married life to avoid the same thing happening again.
