Which abortion procedure is less painful?
The level of discomfort experienced during an abortion varies from person to person, depending on individual pain tolerance, gestational age, and the type of procedure performed.
Some patients assume that a medication abortion is less painful because it does not involve surgical instruments.
However, medication abortion typically causes uterine cramping and bleeding, which can sometimes be more intense than menstrual cramps and may last several hours.
For patients who are less than six weeks pregnant, an early surgical abortion, performed using uterine aspiration, offers the advantage of completing the procedure during a single clinic visit.
The procedure itself usually takes only a few minutes, and most patients can resume their normal daily activities within 24 hours, depending on how they feel and whether sedation was administered.
