What are the harms of abortion?

Today's social concepts are more open. If you don't pay attention to self-protection, it is very easy to get pregnant unexpectedly. If the child is not desirable, artificial abortion will be used as the solution. However, there are many dangers of artificial abortion. So, what are the harms of abortion? Let’s take a closer look at it.

Uterine hemorrhage after painless abortion

Intrauterine hemorrhage often occurs within a few hours after abortion. Patients with abortion experience unbearable abdominal pain. Gynecological examination reveals that the uterus is significantly enlarged, soft, and tender. At this time, immediate curettage is needed to clear the blood in the uterine cavity, and oxytocin and antibiotics should be given.

Uterine perforation after painless abortion

Uterine perforation is a very serious complication that occurs during abortion surgery. Most patients experience sudden and severe abdominal pain during perforation, but a small number of people may not feel any obvious pain. The abdominal pain caused by uterine perforation is persistent and there is a small amount of vaginal bleeding. If the perforation is small and there is no damage to internal organs such as the bladder and rectum, and there is no internal bleeding, conservative treatment can be used. If there is still residual tissue in the uterine cavity, uterine curettage can be performed after the condition has improved.

Infection after painless abortion

This is one of the most common short-term complications of abortion. Post-abortion infection often occurs within two weeks after the operation and can be directly caused by the abortion operation. It usually causes acute pelvic inflammatory disease, with severe abdominal pain that is persistent and may worsen in paroxysmal forms, accompanied by fever, chills, or yellow discharge. This is the main reason for lower abdominal distension and pain after abortion. During physical examination, the abdominal pain is resistant to pressure, and there is tenderness and rebound pain. Gynecological examination shows cervical lifting pain and uterine body tenderness, with obvious tenderness.

Experts from Shenzhen Far East Women's and Children's Hospital remind: The cause of lower abdominal distension and pain after abortion. Women who have had an abortion must pay attention to observe their reactions after the operation to avoid infection from the abortion operation, which may cause inflammation such as lower abdominal distension and pain. Once symptoms are found, timely treatment is required. Women who have undergone abortion must pay attention to rest to avoid sequelae caused by excessive fatigue.

The above is an introduction to the harm of abortion. I hope it will help women understand it. Although artificial abortion is a relatively simple operation, it can still cause considerable harm. In daily life, women should learn to protect themselves to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Abortion can cause great harm to their health.
