Is it harmful to have an abortion?

Patient's question:

I have a child now and I want to have an abortion. I don't quite understand if having an abortion will be harmful to my body? Is the harm of having an abortion significant?

Doctor's answer:

If you are considering an abortion, you need to have a thorough examination at the gynecology department of a hospital first. This mainly involves a detailed gynecological ultrasound examination to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Additionally, you need to be checked for chronic gynecological inflammation. Without inflammation, do not have sexual intercourse for 7 days. The abortion should be performed around 8 weeks of pregnancy. Go to the gynecology outpatient department of a regular hospital to have it done. Abortion carries certain risks, but a follow-up visit to a regular hospital generally does not cause major problems.
