What are the side effects of induced abortion?

Induced labor is a common method of abortion. It is usually used after the fetus is 16 weeks pregnant, mainly because of physical factors of the mother or fetus that require induced labor. There may be some sequelae after induced abortion, so everyone must pay attention.

[The sequelae of induced labor include birth canal injury, vaginal bleeding, and infection]

1. Birth canal injury

Experts from Nanning Painless Abortion Hospital said that during the induced labor process, due to strong uterine contractions, small cervical opening and poor elasticity, birth canal injuries such as posterior fornix, cervical opening and vaginal lacerations are often prone to occur. At this time, the laceration site should be clearly exposed and sutured immediately to achieve the purpose of hemostasis.

2. Vaginal bleeding

Experts from Nanning Painless Abortion Hospital said that if the amount of bleeding after induced labor reaches more than 400 ml, it is called mid-term post-induced labor bleeding. If a large amount of bleeding occurs in a short period of time, the patient will go into shock and endanger his life, so induced abortion should be avoided as much as possible.

3. Infection

Experts from the Nanning Painless Abortion Hospital pointed out that if the mother has a fever during the induced labor process or within 2 weeks of induced labor, with the temperature reaching over 38°C, especially if the high fever persists for more than 24 hours after induced labor, it is a concurrent infection. When infection occurs, the patient may also have persistent lower abdominal pain, purulent or bloody vaginal discharge with a foul odor. In severe cases, the patient may experience a drop in blood pressure, a weak and rapid pulse, and the abdomen may refuse to be pressed and be tender, causing great pain to the patient.
