Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 19 years old this year. I graduated from high school and started working just one year ago. This month, I didn't have my period. I bought a pregnancy test and found out I'm pregnant. I want to have an abortion, but I'm a bit upset. I want to know what are the adverse effects of induced abortion?Doctor's answer:
Artificial abortion is divided into surgical abortion and medication abortion. Regardless of which method is used, it has an impact on the body. The greatest risk is infection caused by neglecting hygiene or poor immunity after an abortion, which can lead to pelvic infection and other gynecological diseases in severe cases. If some abortions cause physical weakness, they can also lead to repeated damage to the endometrium, making it easier to experience placenta previa during subsequent pregnancies, or even severe bleeding before or during childbirth. Some women may also experience habitual abortion again due to repeated artificial abortions.
