What are the complications of female sterilization surgery?

I believe everyone is familiar with sterilization surgery. Not only male friends can undergo sterilization surgery, but female friends can also undergo sterilization surgery. Many friends are often very afraid of undergoing sterilization surgery due to their lack of knowledge about it, so we recommend that our readers learn some information about sterilization surgery. Below we will introduce to you the complications that are prone to occur in female sterilization surgery.

1. Organ damage

Contraceptive surgery causes uterine perforation or rupture, cervical and vaginal vault lacerations, adnexa, bladder, intestinal tract and mesentery damage, resulting in bleeding or requiring repair or resection.

Bleeding and hematoma

Patients without bleeding tendency diseases may suffer from external bleeding due to birth control surgery (≥100 ml during insertion and removal of intrauterine contraceptive device, ≥200 ml during vacuum extraction or uterine curettage in early pregnancy, ≥300 ml during uterine curettage and various induced labors in mid-pregnancy or within 24 hours after delivery), internal bleeding, abdominal wall hematoma, broad ligament hematoma, and retroperitoneal hematoma, etc.

3. Infection

There was no systemic or local infection before the operation. Within two weeks after the sterilization operation, abdominal wall incision, peritoneum, uterus, adnexa and pelvic inflammation directly related to the sterilization operation began to appear, and even developed into systemic infection.

4. Incomplete abortion

Persistent or recurrent vaginal bleeding after suction uterine abortion, uterine curettage and various induced labors, and the discharge or uterine curettage scrapings are embryos, villi or placental tissue. If necessary, it should be confirmed by pathological examination.

5. Failed abortion and continued pregnancy

It only refers to the cases where the embryo is not sucked out or clamped during suction uterine abortion or uterine curettage, resulting in continued pregnancy.

6. Amniotic fluid embolism

During the process of artificial abortion (including uterine forceps curettage, various induced labors or cesarean sections), a series of symptoms and signs such as pulmonary embolism, shock, coagulation disorder, acute heart and kidney failure are caused due to the entry of amniotic fluid into the blood circulation.

7. Gas Embolism

During suction abortion or birth control-related surgery performed via hysteroscopy or laparoscopy, gas embolism may occur due to instrument failure or operational error, causing gas to enter the blood vessels by mistake.

8. Drug Corrosion Injury

During the fallopian tube sterilization surgery, corrosive drugs may accidentally damage other tissues and cause symptoms and signs.
