The dangers of incomplete abortion

Many women do not choose the right method to abort themselves, so it is very common for the body to have incomplete abortions. The consequences of this phenomenon on women's bodies are unimaginable. Only after the abortion is completed once, the body can slowly recover. If the body suddenly finds that the abortion is incomplete and does not deal with it in time, it is likely to affect future fertility. So what are the hazards of incomplete abortion?

1. 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) all increase the chance of perforation.

2. Cervical or endometrial adhesion: During uterine dilatation and curettage, if the scraping is too rough, causing injury or inflammation of the cervix or endometrium, it is possible to produce postoperative cervical or endometrial adhesions and cause menstrual abnormalities, such as amenorrhea or too little menstrual flow. In severe cases, infertility may occur in the future.

3. Aspiration pneumonia or respiratory arrest may occur during anesthesia.

4. Although oral medication abortion does not have the above-mentioned sequelae and can avoid the side effects of physical and mental harm to some women, it is still necessary to pay attention to the possibility of heavy bleeding and incomplete abortion.

5. 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.

6. 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. Cervical injury: During the process of dilating the cervix, if you are not careful or the dilation speed is too fast, it is possible to cause damage to the cervix and make future pregnancies more likely to have miscarriages, especially for women who are pregnant for the first time or have not yet given birth.

Nursing

1. Pay attention to proper rest after abortion. It is usually recommended to rest in bed for 1 week. If conditions do not permit, you should rest in bed for at least 2-3 days. You can get out of bed and move around later, gradually increasing the time you spend on activities. Do not engage in heavy physical labor within half a month after the abortion.

2. Nutritional supplementation is necessary after abortion. Especially protein, iron, and vitamin B12, which are necessary raw materials for blood production, while vitamin C, water, minerals and fiber are essential nutrients for the human body. After an abortion, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and bean products, and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to speed up your body's recovery.

3. Observe the bleeding after abortion. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after abortion or if symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, or abnormal vaginal discharge occur, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. In addition, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination within one month after the abortion.

4. Adhere to contraception after abortion to avoid pregnancy again. After abortion, the functions of the ovaries and uterus gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. If you don't insist on taking contraceptive measures, you will get pregnant again soon, which will have a greater impact on your body.

5. Psychological adjustment is very important. After an abortion, many women will become anxious or self-pitying, feeling that they have not received enough care and worrying about the impact on their future health. In fact, proper care and understanding as well as dietary adjustments can help untie the knot and restore happiness and self-confidence.
