Is abortion dangerous?

Abortion refers to an act of performing an abortion on a woman who is pregnant with an unformed fetus within three months, ending the life of the fetus in her belly and thus achieving the purpose of terminating the pregnancy. So are abortion surgery risky?

After abortion, the uterus and ovaries will resume ovulation function in a short period of time. It is normal to have irregular menstruation within 3 months after abortion, and the menstrual cycle may sometimes be affected by external factors. It is not suitable to have sex within one month after the abortion.

After an abortion, the uterus and ovaries can generally resume ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation will occur around January. However, a very small number of women experience menstrual disorders such as prolonged menstruation, irregular cycle duration, and amenorrhea after abortion. This condition usually recovers after 2-3 months, but in a few people it lasts longer.

Repeated abortions not only increase the probability of surgical errors, but also make women become patients with a large number of complications. If these complications seriously damage the female's urinary system, then the occurrence of infertility after multiple abortions will be "inevitable".

Although abortion is a minimally invasive surgery, operations such as curettage and dilation and curettage can only be felt by hand. Sometimes, careless operation may cause some complications or complications, such as incomplete curettage, abnormal uterine bleeding, uterine inflammation, uterine perforation, endometriosis, fallopian tube adhesions, infertility, etc. Therefore, multiple abortions can easily have adverse effects on physical and mental health.

Abortion can be performed within 10 weeks of pregnancy. If the pregnancy exceeds 12 weeks, or B-ultrasound shows that the gestational sac is more than 8 cm, hospitalization is required for forceps curettage and induced abortion.

During an abortion, if the doctor does not perform the operation properly, it is easy to cause uterine perforation and internal bleeding, which may be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Itinerant doctors and unlicensed clinics can easily cause internal bleeding in the patient, and there is no reliable treatment method, which seriously endangers the patient's personal safety.

Whether it is surgical abortion or medical abortion, there is a risk of incomplete abortion, especially medical abortion, which has a success rate of only 75%. Once the abortion is unsuccessful, if the uterine curettage is not performed immediately, the remaining fetal membrane tissue can easily lead to hemorrhage and internal bleeding, which can be life-threatening in severe cases and can lead to infertility. If an abortion is performed without authorization, the miscarriage rate will be higher and usually cannot be resolved immediately, resulting in lifelong regret.
