Patient's question:
I am 26 years old, and I just had an abortion without anesthesia. However, I still feel a lot of pain in my stomach. I don't know if this is normal. Could you please tell me what the negative effects are if the abortion is not done cleanly?Doctor's answer:
If there are residues left inside the uterus that are not expelled, it may cause vaginal bleeding. If this occurs repeatedly over a long period, it may lead to anemia. The uterus is also prone to causing infections, resulting in damage, and may lead to endocrine disorders, irregular menstruation, and other conditions. It is recommended to have a uterine clearance if there are residues to remove them. Patients should develop a regular lifestyle, persist in treatment, and maintain a light diet with aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
