Consequences of abortion

Abortion is actually abortion or miscarriage. It is a situation where female friends are unwilling to become pregnant and have a baby due to various reasons. Generally speaking, a lot of women have abortions nowadays. Although everyone knows that abortion is harmful to health, it is still inevitable to have an abortion. Well, today we will introduce to you the consequences of abortion, hoping to reduce the occurrence of this situation.

Main hazards

The harms of abortion are mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1. It may cause menstrual disorders. A small number of patients may have irregular menstrual cycles and prolonged menstruation, while a large number of patients may experience increased menstrual flow after abortion.

Second, it may cause adhesion of the cervix or uterine cavity, and cervical adhesion may cause blood accumulation in the uterine cavity;

3. It may cause infection in the uterine cavity;

4. It may lead to habitual miscarriage in the future. The more abortions you have, the greater the possibility of miscarriage.

5. It may lead to lifelong infertility;

6. 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) increase the chance of perforation;

7. Cervical or endometrial adhesion: During artificial abortion, if the doctor's technique is too rough, it is very likely to cause injury and inflammation of the cervix or endometrium, which may lead to postoperative cervical or endometrial adhesion and cause menstrual abnormalities, such as amenorrhea or too little menstrual flow. In severe cases, infertility may occur in the future;

8. Cervical injury: During the abortion process, if you are not careful and dilate the cervix too quickly, it may cause damage to the cervix and make it easier to have a miscarriage in the future, especially for women who are pregnant for the first time or have not given birth yet.

9. 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;

10. Bacterial infection: If the instruments are not completely sterilized, or the surgeon 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. [7]
