What are the risks of induced abortion at five months of pregnancy?

Unexpected pregnancy is an inevitable problem in life, and many people with unexpected pregnancies will choose to have an abortion. However, induced abortion can cause harm to women's bodies. From a medical point of view, the greater the pregnancy period, the greater the harm to the body. Especially if you induce labor when you are five months pregnant, it may cause infertility in severe cases. So what are the risks of induced labor at five months pregnant?

Grasp the best time for abortion. During this period, the fetus has not yet formed, the uterus is not too large, and the uterine wall muscles are thicker, so the embryo is easy to suck out. Therefore, the operation time is short, so the body recovers faster after abortion. If the pregnancy is advanced, the fetal skeleton has already formed, the uterus has become larger, and the uterine wall has become thinner, making surgery relatively difficult.

For first-time pregnant women with a gestation period of less than 49 days, medical abortion can be performed, and for 6-12 weeks, artificial abortion can be performed. For a 5-month-old fetus, only mid-term induced abortion can be performed. The induced abortion operation is not too expensive, but the important thing is that induced abortion is very harmful to the female body, causing heavy bleeding, and may also lead to infertility in the future.

Consider induction of labor in May. It is recommended to have B-ultrasound examination and consider water bag induction of labor and levano induction of labor according to the recovery of the uterus. The following are the precautions for different induction methods:

1. Infection and bleeding are the most common complications of induced labor with water sac. After the operation, the body temperature and lochia should be closely observed. If the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees and the lochia has a foul odor, antibiotics should be given in time to treat the infection. Excessive bleeding is mainly caused by poor uterine contractions or residual placenta and fetal membranes after abortion due to placental abruption. On the basis of preventing shock and treating the cause, uterine contractions should be strengthened or uterine curettage should be performed.

2. Induced labor with rivano. The most common complication of induced labor with rivano is retained fetal membranes. In general, routine postoperative cleaning of the uterine cavity can avoid retained fetal membranes. In addition, a small number of patients have fever, which decreases rapidly 24 hours after the fetus is expelled. If the body temperature continues to rise after 24 hours, other factors causing the fever should be excluded.

Life care:

After successful abortion, you usually need to stay in the hospital for observation for 3 days. The doctor will give necessary treatment according to the abortion situation. If there is no abnormality, you can be discharged after 3 days. You should rest for at least one month after abortion and avoid fatigue. You are not suitable for labor and training at present. Sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month after abortion, and you must pay attention to keeping clean. You should go to the hospital for a reexamination after one month and implement contraceptive measures.

Induced labor requires going to a regular hospital. The process of induced labor is the same as that of normal delivery. The only difference is the size of the fetus. The probability of uterine rupture in a scarred uterus during induced labor is higher than that of a normal uterus.

Therefore, if you need induced labor when you are five months pregnant, it is recommended to go to a regular large hospital. Generally speaking, induced labor at five months is not recommended because it causes great harm to the mother. Before inducing labor, you should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination and be familiar with the various risks brought about by inducing labor. The ultimate goal is to induce labor without endangering life safety.
