First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares the risk of heavy bleeding between surgical and medical abortions performed at 14 to 16 weeks of pregnancy. Researchers at Strasbourg University Hospital will enroll 50 adult women to see which method leads to fewer cases of blood loss over 500 cc. The goal is to provide clearer safety information for patients and doctors choosing between the two options.
