6 major hazards of drug-induced abortion

Although medical abortion has fewer side effects, improper operation can cause great harm to women's bodies. The general hazards of medical abortion include bacterial infection, bleeding, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, and in severe cases, infertility. Therefore, you must be mentally prepared when choosing medical abortion, go to a regular large hospital, and follow the doctor's advice. After a medical abortion, you should rest well and have a balanced diet to better restore your health.

Let’s take a look at the dangers of medical abortion.

1. Bacterial infection: After medical abortion, the embryonic sac tissue in the uterine cavity is mostly discharged on the same day. Some patients may encounter incomplete discharge of pregnancy tissue and poor restoration of the uterine membrane, which will cause vaginal bleeding for a long time. Long-term irregular bleeding after medical abortion can cause chronic anemia, reduce the body's resistance, and easily cause bacterial infection.

2. Cause heavy bleeding: The disadvantage of medical abortion is that it can easily lead to incomplete abortion. The residual fetal membrane tissue can cause hemorrhage and heavy bleeding. In this case, you must be admitted to the hospital immediately for curettage and cleaning. If you are not rescued in time, your life will be in danger.

3. Inducing habitual abortion: Since medical abortion is less thorough, incomplete abortion may require another abortion operation, which will cause repeated damage to the endometrium, making placenta previa more likely to occur, causing heavy prenatal bleeding or habitual abortion.

4. Symptoms causing dysmenorrhea: Some women will experience dysmenorrhea or aggravated symptoms after medical abortion, with crampy or persistent pain in the lower abdomen during menstruation, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, back pain, breast swelling, and even fainting in severe cases.

5. Cause menstrual disorders: Anti-pregnancy drugs can affect the growth and development of follicles and even interfere with ovulation. Some women may experience menstrual disorders after medical abortion, which are manifested by shortened or prolonged menstrual cycles and increased menstrual duration.

6. Affecting fertility and causing infertility : Medical abortion can easily lead to blockage of the fallopian tubes and cervical adhesions, causing infertility; Medical abortion can cause excessive damage to the uterus and ovaries, which is also one of the causes of infertility.
