Patient's question:
Found out that I accidentally got pregnant but don't want to keep it, planning to use medication for an abortion but don't know what the harm is to the body?Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion is a method used within 49 days of pregnancy to prevent the pain of surgical abortion. It is a decision many people make, but it also has some drawbacks, such as incomplete miscarriage, which may lead to residual issues requiring a second D&C procedure.The dangers of medication abortion:
1. Painful menstruation: Some women may experience menstrual cramps or dysmenorrhea after medication abortion, with lower abdominal spasmodic or persistent pain accompanied by nausea, vomiting, back pain, breast tenderness, and in severe cases, even recurrent fainting.
2. Menstrual irregularities: It can disrupt the growth and development of follicles and even affect menopause.
3. Fertility interference: It may lead to infertility, such as blocked fallopian tubes or cervical adhesions.
Medication abortion can cause damage to the uterus and ovaries. Additionally, bacterial infections can easily lead to recurrent endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease.
