What harm does abortion do to the body?

When a female friend has an unexpected pregnancy, she has no choice but to have an abortion. The number of abortions in our country is increasing every year, which has become an important cause of female infertility. Abortion not only kills a life that is about to be born, but more importantly, it will have an impact on our body. So what harm does abortion do to the body? The following is a detailed introduction.

We know that abortion is murder and the process is fraught with danger. It is not as easy as advertised. The report estimates that unsafe abortions cause the deaths of approximately 70,000 women each year, and that five million women require treatment each year for complications from improper abortions.

From a medical point of view, the harm of abortion to the body is mainly manifested in the following aspects

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

2. It may cause cervical or uterine adhesions, and cervical adhesions 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) may 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 cause cervical or endometrial adhesion after the operation 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 the cervix dilates too quickly, it may cause damage to the cervix and make future pregnancies more likely to result in miscarriage, especially for women who are pregnant for the first time or have not yet given birth.

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 result in ectopic pregnancy or infertility in the future.

I believe everyone has their own understanding of the harm that abortion does to the body. Abortion can cause a series of changes in a woman's body. In severe cases, it can lead to lifelong infertility. Therefore, if a woman wants to have an abortion, she must choose a regular hospital to reduce the occurrence of various adverse consequences.
