Nowadays, due to the lack of sufficient contraception awareness among young people, unexpected pregnancies often occur. Many female friends can only choose to have an abortion when they are unable to give birth to a fetus. There are many ways to have an abortion. Spontaneous abortion, medical abortion, and induced abortion. So what is the difference between natural abortion and medical abortion?
There is a fundamental difference between natural abortion and medical abortion. Firstly, spontaneous abortion is unavoidable and not a result of human intervention. It is an unexpected situation, usually caused by poor embryo quality, poor uterine morphology, or poor egg quality, resulting in the spontaneous expulsion of the gestational sac.
Medical abortion is the act of a woman taking oral medication under the guidance of a doctor to perform an abortion after confirming that she is pregnant in utero. Although the common feature is to cause the embryo to flow out of the body, there are essential differences in reality. It should be noted that whether it is a natural abortion or a medical abortion, there is a high possibility of residual pregnancy in the uterus after the abortion. It is necessary to return to the hospital for a follow-up examination a few days after the abortion. If the aborted pregnancy is not completely discharged, a curettage surgery is required for further treatment.
Spontaneous abortion, although an unexpected situation, can also be avoided through human actions. Women should pay attention to physical fitness, enhance resistance, and promote maternal health before pregnancy in order to reduce the occurrence of natural miscarriage. Medical abortion can have an impact on the body, with a success rate of around 60% to 70%. If there is a large amount of residue, it is highly likely to require curettage, which can cause significant damage to a woman's uterus. After the curettage surgery, if the recovery is not good, it is highly likely to affect future fertility. So women must take good contraceptive measures in their daily sexual life to avoid unintended pregnancy and affect their physical health.
