Brief Answer:
Medical or surgical method
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Termination of a 6 weeks pregnancy can be done by both medical and surgical methods.
Medical method is easy and has no invasive procedure involved, however failure can occur in 2% cases.
Surgical abortion is done in hospital and has no failure rate.
Both the methods are safe, have no effect on the patient or her future fertility , if supervised by an OBGYN specialist.
I will suggest your wife to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examination and ultrasound done and to select and undergo the most appropriate method for termination of pregnancy.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
