Is curettage and abortion harmful?

Abortion is a relatively common technique, which is used to treat unwanted pregnancies in women. It has a great impact on women's lives, and most women will resort to abortion to solve their worries. However, abortion is a technique that causes serious harm to the body and brings great side effects to women's bodies. Therefore, women should correctly understand the pros and cons of curettage. Let's take a look at whether abortion and curettage are harmful.

Due to trauma to the endometrium after curettage, there will be vaginal bleeding within two weeks after the operation. Generally, the amount of blood is less than or similar to the menstrual amount, which is normal. If the bleeding has not stopped for more than two weeks or the amount of blood exceeds the menstrual volume, please go to the hospital immediately.

The indications for therapeutic curettage include: those who want to terminate the pregnancy in early pregnancy, suction curettage within 3 months of pregnancy, forceps curettage to remove residual materials in the uterine cavity after 3 months and after induced abortion; those who need to empty the uterine cavity for incomplete abortion, inevitable abortion, missed abortion, retained placenta, hydatidiform mole, etc.

Generally, a follow-up examination is performed two weeks after curettage. It takes some time for the uterus to fully recover after curettage. You can go for another follow-up examination after a while. Pay attention to keeping the vulva clean, change underwear frequently, take a shower and avoid a tub bath. Pay attention to strengthening nutrition and enhancing the body's resistance.

The harms of curettage: 1. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is caused by dysfunction of the neuroendocrine system, and there is no organic lesion in the whole body and reproductive organs. Except for unmarried women in adolescence, curettage is the most commonly used means to treat menorrhagia. Its advantage is that it can not only obtain endometrial tests, but also neatly scrape off the functional layer of endometrium that causes intrauterine bleeding (without scraping off the basal layer to avoid loss of fertility), thereby achieving the dual effects of diagnosis and hemostasis, and has an immediate effect, but the harm of curettage should not be underestimated.

The harm of curettage 2. Now more and more women are getting pregnant before marriage. They want to have abortion to recover from the mistake of pregnancy and make up for the fear of pregnancy. The pain during traditional abortion makes many women still have concerns about pregnancy. However, painless curettage abortion makes some women less worried.
