Brief Answer:
Surgical method is better than medical method.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.

I can understand your concern, though.

If you are going for abortion at this stage of pregnancy, then it is certainly important for you because abortion at this stage may be life threatening to you as well.

In my opinion surgical method of abortion (dilatation and evacuation) is a much better choice at this stage of pregnancy rather than medical method.

So please consult a gynecologist for the same.

Hope it is useful to you, feel free to ask more.

Good luck.
Regards
Dr.Richa
