There are many ways for women to terminate pregnancy, but regardless of which one, it poses certain risks to their physical health. However, it is still necessary to choose a suitable abortion method to reduce the harm to the body. So, what is the difference between medical abortion and painless abortion?
Medical abortion and painless abortion are both ways to terminate pregnancy. Medical abortion is suitable for women within 49 days of amenorrhea, while painless abortion is suitable for women within 35 to 55 days of pregnancy. At this time, the uterus has not yet been enlarged, and the surgery generally does not require cervical dilation, which will not cause too much harm to the female body.
Painless abortion uses short acting intravenous anesthetics, so women do not feel much during the surgery. When the woman wakes up, the surgery is already over. Painless abortion does not cause significant discomfort to women, and the surgical procedure is short in time and requires minimal medication, resulting in a lower likelihood of adverse reactions in women.
Medical abortion is a method of abortion using medication. However, after medical abortion, there may be residual tissue in the uterine cavity that cannot be discharged in a timely manner, which can cause continuous vaginal bleeding in women. This can create opportunities for bacterial growth and lead to infections in women. Therefore, if the abortion is incomplete, a curettage surgery is needed to remove the residual tissue.
