Patient's question:
Recently, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found out about an unexpected pregnancy. However, I don't want the child right now. I want to go to the hospital for an abortion, but it is said that there may be some gynecological problems after the procedure. I would like to understand what issues might arise after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
An abortion is performed through a surgical procedure called uterine scraping. This surgery itself may cause some damage to the endometrium, but as long as you rest well and avoid getting cold after the surgery, there are usually no other problems. After an abortion, it is important to pay attention to the gradual recovery of the uterus. Generally, you can go to the hospital for an ultrasound around two weeks to check the uterus. If it is recovering well, there is no issue.
