Is medical abortion dangerous?

With the development of medical technology, abortion no longer necessarily requires surgical treatment. There are new types of medical abortion that can allow women to end pregnancy quickly without surgery. However, medical abortion also has certain risks and is not suitable for everyone. It is mainly for people who have not exceeded the range of medical abortion. They need to undergo comprehensive examinations and cannot be taken directly blindly.

Confirming pregnancy: Know the symptoms of an unplanned pregnancy

Unexpected pregnancy is a topic that modern women cannot avoid. Although the earlier the pregnancy is, the more difficult it is to diagnose, medically, it can be determined based on the women's subjective symptoms, combined with physical signs and auxiliary examinations. The following 4 points are signs of pregnancy:

Amenorrhea: It is the earliest and most important symptom of pregnancy. If your menstruation is normal and you have not had a period for more than 10 days, you should consider pregnancy.

Early pregnancy reactions: About 6 weeks after the menstruation stops, there are dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, loss of appetite, and picky eating, such as liking sour foods and aversion to greasy foods, as well as varying degrees of nausea and vomiting, which often occurs in the early morning.

Frequent urination: In early pregnancy, the enlarged uterus presses on the bladder in the pelvic cavity, causing frequent urination. As the uterus continues to grow and protrudes beyond the pelvic cavity, the symptoms of frequent urination disappear. Therefore, frequent urination is one of the bases for diagnosing early pregnancy.

Breast tenderness: After pregnancy, due to the stimulation of estrogen and progesterone, the breasts become enlarged and painful, and small nodules appear on the areola.

Secondly, do you know what medical abortion is?

Medical abortion is also known as drug abortion. Medical abortion against early pregnancy refers to achieving artificial abortion in the early stages of pregnancy without the need for surgery, but by means of injections or medication. Medical abortion refers to the use of injections or medication to achieve an abortion in the early stages of pregnancy without the need for surgery. The use of drugs to terminate pregnancy is the latest development in the past 20 years. Currently, the commonly used drugs are the combined use of mifepristone (Ru486) and prostaglandins. The former causes degeneration and necrosis of the uterine decidua and softening of the cervix, while the latter causes uterine contraction and promotes the expulsion of the embryo. Medical abortion is simple, effective and non-traumatic. Currently used to terminate pregnancies up to 7 weeks.

Again, what physical harm can "medical abortion" easily cause?

Causes infection: After women take anti-pregnancy drugs, 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 vaginal bleeding lasts for a long time, which can last for 2-3 weeks or even 1-2 months. Long-term chronic blood loss can cause anemia and reduce the body's resistance. At this time, bacteria often travel back through the vagina and cause inflammation of the endometrium.

Incomplete abortion: Some women suffer incomplete abortion after taking the medicine, which affects the uterine contraction and the repair of the endometrial wound, and causes a significant increase in vaginal bleeding, which is 2-3 times more than the normal menstrual volume. In severe cases, heavy bleeding may occur, leading to anemia and shock. At this time, blood transfusion and emergency surgery for curettage and hemostasis are required.

Impact on normal pregnancy in the future: If unmarried women have repeated pregnancies and miscarriages, the endometrium may be repeatedly damaged. Because the endometrium is damaged, once they need to have a normal pregnancy, they are prone to placenta previa, which can cause heavy prenatal bleeding. Some women also experience habitual miscarriage due to multiple artificial abortions.
