Patient's question:
Having sex with your partner without a condom and accidentally getting pregnant, I had an abortion. I'm worried it will interfere with my body. What are the harms of induced abortion?Doctor's answer:
Artificial abortion is generally a method to terminate pregnancy for early intrauterine pregnancy within 12 weeks. Due to the nature of the procedure, it involves a uterine cavity operation which may cause injuries to the uterine endometrium and other tissues. There is a risk of bacteria entering the vagina or cervix, leading to intrauterine infection. If the doctor makes a mistake during the operation, it may result in severe bleeding or uterine perforation. If the procedure is not performed properly, it may also lead to complications such as vaginal bleeding.If proper care is not taken in daily life, diet, and living habits after the surgery, it may increase the risk of uterine and cervical adhesion. Additionally, if the endometrium is severely damaged, the chances of infertility may increase. It is recommended to pay attention to health and use appropriate methods such as condoms for contraception.
