Abstract
Material and methods:
In this study, 220 pregnant women (under 14 weeks gestational age) who candidate for termination of pregnancy (due to fetal or maternal reasons) were divided into the treatment and surgery groups. In the medical abortion group, 600 g vaginal misoprostol was given, then 36 hours later if needed this dose was repeated. However, if the remains of the pregnancy were observed by ultrasound 1 week after the initial dose, the curettage was done. Suction curettage was used in the surgical abortion group.

In all subjects of surgical groups, all products of pregnancy with surgical curettage were fully discharged. The mean satisfaction from amount of bleeding in the drug and medical abortion groups was 80% and 84%, respectively with no statistical difference.
