What are the sequelae of artificial abortion?

I believe everyone knows what artificial abortion is. We suggest that female friends who want to have artificial abortion must be aware that artificial abortion can easily cause various harms to the body, so they should pay attention to it and not have artificial abortion lightly. Artificial abortion not only easily leads to bacterial infection in female friends, but also easily leads to sequelae such as uterine perforation in female friends.

1. Uterine perforation: The longer the gestational age, the higher the risk; the more miscarriages, the greater the chance of perforation. Other conditions such as abnormal uterine position or shape or previous uterine surgery (such as cesarean section or myomectomy) all increase the chance of perforation.

2. Cervical or endometrial adhesion: During uterine dilatation and curettage, if the scraping is too rough, causing injury or inflammation of the cervix or endometrium, it is possible to produce postoperative cervical or endometrial adhesions and cause menstrual abnormalities, such as amenorrhea or too little menstrual flow. In severe cases, infertility may occur in the future.

3. Incomplete abortion: If the operation is not performed completely, a small amount of fetal tissue will remain in the uterus, which may affect uterine contraction and cause continuous bleeding or cause adhesion, infection, etc. It is best to perform another careful surgery to remove the remaining tissue. Abnormal position or shape of the uterus is generally more likely to cause this sequelae.

4. Bacterial infection: If the instruments are not completely sterilized, or the operator himself does not pay attention to the aseptic process, it may cause intrauterine infection and even continue to spread upward to invade the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity. In severe cases, it may cause ectopic pregnancy or infertility in the future.

5. Cervical injury: If you are not careful during the process of dilating the cervix or the dilation speed is too fast, it is possible to cause damage to the cervix and make future pregnancies more likely to have miscarriages, especially for women who are pregnant for the first time or have not yet given birth.

6. Anesthesia may cause aspiration pneumonia or respiratory arrest.

7. Although oral medication abortion does not have the above-mentioned sequelae and can avoid the side effects of physical and mental harm to some women, it is still necessary to pay attention to the possibility of heavy bleeding and incomplete abortion.
