The harm of two medical abortions within half a year

Medical abortion is a type of abortion. Medical abortion is safer and more suitable for people who are in the early stages of pregnancy. However, you should also pay attention to the process of medical abortion. There may be incomplete abortion or fish and residue. Therefore, such patients need to understand some precautions about medical abortion. Two medical abortions within half a year are very harmful to the body. First of all, it will damage the uterus. Some patients may need to undergo uterine curettage, and vaginal bleeding will last for a longer time.

Medical abortion, also known as drug abortion, refers to the use of mifepristone tablets plus misoprostol to terminate early pregnancy. It has been widely used in clinical practice in recent years. A new development in the past 20 years is the use of injections or medication to achieve artificial abortion in the early stages of pregnancy without surgery, and the use of drugs to terminate pregnancy.

Currently, the commonly used drugs are mifepristone tablets and misoprostol in combination. The former causes degeneration and necrosis of the uterine decidua and softening of the cervix, while the latter excites the uterus and causes uterine contraction, thereby promoting the expulsion of the embryo.

What are the dangers of medical abortion?

1. Cause infection: Medical abortion takes longer than artificial abortion. Sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not completely expelled, the uterine membrane is not restored well, and vaginal bleeding lasts longer, 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.

2. Impact on fertility: It can cause repeated damage to the endometrium. Due to damage to the endometrium, women are more likely to develop placenta previa when they become pregnant in the future, which can cause heavy prenatal bleeding. Due to multiple miscarriages, some women may also experience habitual miscarriages.

3. Affect ovarian function: inhibit ovarian function, affect the growth and development of follicles and even ovulation. Some women may experience menstrual disorders after medical abortion, which is manifested as a shortened or prolonged menstrual cycle. The harm of medical abortion to the body includes increased menstrual flow.

4. Incomplete abortion: Not all women are suitable for medical abortion. If the abortion is incomplete, it will affect the contraction of the uterus and the repair of the endometrial wound, and significantly increase the amount of vaginal bleeding, which is 2 to 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.
