Can I have an abortion if I have gynecological disease?

Women need to undergo a physical examination before having an abortion. Abortion can only be performed when the body is healthy to reduce damage to the vagina and uterus. However, if a pregnant woman is found to have a gynecological disease before an abortion, she cannot have the abortion. The gynecological disease must be treated before the abortion. Otherwise, the woman may become infertile after the abortion, which requires attention.

Experts say that women with gynecological inflammation are temporarily not suitable for surgical or medical abortion. The first reason is that inflammation will affect the abortion surgery. If a woman has an abortion without early treatment for inflammation, the surgical instruments will pass through the vagina and the cervix into the uterine cavity during the abortion process. If the patient happens to have vaginal inflammation, the external bacteria and inflammation will easily ascend during this period and infect the uterine cavity, causing pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis and other inflammations, which will lead to blockage of the fallopian tubes and severe infertility.

There is another reason: in clinical practice, it is found that the diseased tissues of some patients with cervical erosion are brittle, and they are prone to bleeding due to inflammation. If not treated in time, it can easily bring difficulties to abortion surgery. In addition, the treatment of patients with cervical erosion is relatively difficult and time-consuming. Patients with this type of gynecological inflammation should be treated in time when the disease first occurs. The same principle applies to medical abortion. The patient's physical condition will deteriorate after the abortion, and the patient's gynecological inflammation symptoms will be aggravated.

Therefore, women generally need to undergo a gynecological examination before undergoing painless abortion or medical abortion. One of the purposes is to promptly detect whether women have acute or chronic inflammation of the reproductive system, such as common cervicitis, cervical erosion or vagina, so as to cure these inflammations before abortion or medical abortion and reduce the chance of worsening infection after abortion.

From the above analysis, we know the necessity of treating gynecological inflammation before abortion. Even if female friends do not have symptoms of inflammation, they must undergo relevant gynecological examinations before undergoing painless abortion surgery or medical abortion. Once gynecological inflammation is discovered, such as vulvitis, vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, etc., abortion surgery or medical abortion should be performed after the inflammation is cured.
