Does medical abortion harm the body?

Medical abortion is a very common method of abortion that can be used to induce abortion during a relatively short period of pregnancy. Generally speaking, medical abortion is best performed within 49 days of pregnancy. Medical abortion actually causes great physical harm to women. If the medication flow rate is incorrect, serious consequences can occur. So what harm does medical abortion do to the body? Let’s find out below.

1. Prone to Inflammatory Infection

After medical abortion, the embryonic sac tissue in the uterine cavity can be discharged on the same day. Sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not completely discharged, the uterine membrane is not restored well, and the vaginal bleeding lasts for a long time, which may last for 2-3 weeks or even 1-2 months. Long-term irregular bleeding after medical abortion can cause chronic anemia, reduce the body's resistance, and easily cause bacterial infection.

2. Cause heavy bleeding

The disadvantage of medical abortion is that it can easily lead to incomplete abortion. The residual fetal membrane tissue can cause hemorrhage and heavy bleeding, and you must be hospitalized immediately for curettage and cleaning. If you are not rescued in time, your life will be in danger.

3. Cause habitual miscarriage

Since medical abortion is less thorough, incomplete abortion may require further surgical treatment, which can cause repeated damage to the endometrium, placenta previa, heavy prenatal bleeding, or habitual abortion.

4. Dysmenorrhea

Some women may experience dysmenorrhea or worsening symptoms after medical abortion, with crampy or persistent pain in the lower abdomen during menstruation, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, back pain, breast swelling, and even fainting in severe cases.

5. Cause infertility

Medical abortion can easily lead to blockage of the fallopian tubes and cervical adhesions, causing infertility; medical abortion can cause excessive damage to the uterus and ovaries, which is also one of the causes of infertility.
