Is it better for women to have abortion by medication or by curettage?

Now with the development of people's ideas, termination of pregnancy has become a common thing in clinical practice. Although painless abortion is becoming more and more popular, the first abortions people come into contact with are still medical abortion and curettage abortion. Many people believe that compared to curettage, medical abortion is not only more thorough, but also causes less harm to the body. But is this really the truth? Let’s take a look with the editor now.

The drug itself can indeed be metabolized quickly in the body, but the drug disrupts the body's own hormone balance, which may lead to insufficient hormone secretion and hormone disorder. The effects can be long or short-lived. Generally, it is recommended to wait two menstrual cycles after medical abortion before trying to get pregnant again.

Some doctors even tell patients that it doesn't matter if the abortion is not complete, it will be clean after two periods. However, this is not the case! The endometrium shed during menstruation is naturally shed after necrosis, and the fertilized egg cannot be so shallowly attached to the uterine wall. It will penetrate the endometrium like a tree taking root, and it needs to go deeper to absorb nutrients from the mother. Therefore, it is difficult to remove the remaining embryo by exfoliation of the naturally necrotic endometrium.

If the residue remains for too long, it will stick to the uterine wall and cause infection, possibly leading to infertility and possibly increasing the risk of hydatidiform mole. Once you have a hydatidiform mole, not only will you not be able to give birth to a healthy baby, but your life will also be in danger. Abnormal proliferation of residual materials will also increase the incidence of malignant tumor - choriocarcinoma. Therefore, if the medical abortion is not complete and there is little residue left, you can use some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs. Check again after one week. If there is still residue left, you must have a curettage. It can be seen from this that medical abortion may cause double suffering.

In fact, according to the editor's description above, it is not difficult to see that whether it is medical abortion or curettage, it is harmful to the female body. Many women will have sequelae due to abortion, and some people will even become infertile for life. Children are innocent and cute, so think twice before choosing abortion.
