What are the harms of induced abortion to women?

Induced labor is what many women want after five months of pregnancy. However, at this time, the pregnancy is already very advanced, so neither artificial abortion nor medical abortion is possible. Therefore, if you want to terminate the pregnancy at this time, you must induce labor in time. At this time, induced labor is the only way. When inducing labor, many people worry that it will cause harm to the body, and they are afraid that after induced labor, they will leave regrets in their lives. So what are the harms of induced labor to women?

1. Bleeding after induced labor: Bleeding after induced labor is one of the most common hazards of induced labor. When the amount of bleeding after the fetus is delivered reaches more than 400 ml, we usually call it mid-term post-induction bleeding. If there is a large amount of bleeding in a short period of time, the patient will go into shock and his life will be in danger. Therefore, if patients have the conditions, they should be admitted to a better hospital and, if necessary, seek consultation and treatment from relevant departments to avoid postpartum hemorrhage.

2. Surgical infection: If the patient develops fever and the body temperature is as high as 38°C or above during the induced abortion operation or within half a month of induced abortion, especially if the high fever persists for more than a day after induced abortion and is accompanied by chills, this is a concurrent infection defined in medicine. When infection occurs, the patient may experience persistent lower abdominal pain, or a drop in blood pressure, and symptoms such as abdominal refusal to press and tenderness and rebound pain.

3. Birth canal injury: During the induction of labor, the uterus contracts strongly, resulting in a small cervical opening and poor elasticity, so it is easy for the birth canal to be injured, such as posterior fornix, cervical opening lacerations and vaginal lacerations. At this time, the laceration site should be clearly exposed and sutured immediately to stop the bleeding, otherwise it will cause more harm in the future.

If induced labor is performed frequently, there will be these dangers, but if it is done occasionally, there will not be much harm, so everyone just needs to be cautious. When inducing labor, remember to do a physical examination. If any abnormalities are found, the operation must be stopped. If there are no abnormalities, the harm of induced labor is not big, but if similar abnormalities occur, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time.
