The choice between Medical abortion pills or Surgical abortion
The decision to have an abortion or continue a pregnancy is not a simple or easy one and it’s important to take the time to make the best choice between a medical or surgical abortion.
The gestation of the pregnancy may mean that only one abortion option is available. A medical abortion is often preferred by women who do not want to undergo surgery, are allergic to anesthetic, or who would prefer to experience an abortion in the privacy of their own home.
A surgical abortion is also sometimes preferred by women who do not want to be conscious for the procedure and would prefer a quicker procedure with only one clinic visit. A surgical abortion is performed in a controlled medical environment.
The choice to use medical or surgical abortion is a very personal one. Both procedures have their own advantages and disadvantages, but neither of the processes interferes with a woman’s ability to become pregnant in the future
Is having an abortion safe?
Having an abortion is safe, and very few women experience complications. Having an abortion poses fewer risks to a woman than going through pregnancy and birth.
Will having an abortion affect my ability to get pregnant in the future?
Uncomplicated abortion poses virtually no risk to a woman’s future reproductive health, as shown by numerous studies. There is no proven connection between abortion and future infertility, ectopic pregnancy or other pregnancy complications.
