What are the harms of abortion surgery to the human body

With the progress of society and the opening of people's sexual awareness, many young men and women have sex before marriage, especially there are many cases of unmarried children, which inevitably leads to pregnancy. Generally, women mainly undergo abortion after pregnancy, which is a harmful operation to the human body. In normal times, we should try our best to avoid pregnancy. What are the harms of abortion to the human body? Let’s take a look at it below.

Injuries during surgery: Bladder injuries

If the uterus is perforated during an abortion, the bladder may also be perforated. This can also cause peritonitis (an infected inflammation of the abdominal lining), which can be painful, life-threatening, and require plastic surgery to repair the problem if necessary.

Intestinal damage

If the uterus is perforated during a miscarriage, the intestine may also be perforated. This can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, blood in the stool, peritonitis (an inflammation of the infected abdominal lining), and death if not treated promptly. Part of the intestine may be removed, and a temporary or permanent colostomy may be placed in the abdomen. (a type of abdominal surgery used to repair the intestines)

Dangers after surgery: Breast cancer

The incidence of breast cancer in old age among women who have had induced abortions is significantly higher than that among women who have not had induced abortions. In the United States, breast cancer rates have increased by 50 percent since abortion was legalized in 1973.

Hazards after surgery: Ectopic pregnancy (tubal pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy)

An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that occurs outside the uterus. After an abortion, there is an 8 to 20 times greater chance of an ectopic pregnancy. If not discovered in time, an ectopic pregnancy can rupture and cause massive bleeding and death if emergency surgery is not performed. Statistics show that the incidence of ectopic pregnancy will increase by 30% after one abortion, and the incidence of ectopic pregnancy will increase by 160% after two or more abortions. In the United States, the incidence of ectopic pregnancies increased threefold after abortion was legalized. In 1970, the incidence rate was 4.8 per 1,000, but by 1980 it had risen to 14.5 per 1,000.

Through the above introduction, we know the harms of abortion to the human body. We must take contraceptive measures when engaging in sexual intercourse, especially to be responsible for ourselves and women. Generally, wearing condoms is the safest contraceptive measure, which can effectively protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases while avoiding pregnancy.
