Patient's question:
Got pregnant and don't want it, but it's too late to take medication to terminate. Wondering how big the risks are with surgical abortion?Doctor's answer:
The risks of surgical abortion are relatively low, and it is best to have it done in a regular hospital. The main risks include minor skin abrasions during the procedure, infections, uterine perforation, adhesions in the uterine cavity and cervix, artificial abortion syndrome, incomplete miscarriage, missed aspiration, menstrual disorders, and secondary infertility, among others. Most artificial abortions are relatively safe, with a low chance of recurrence. You can rest assured and make a decision. If you choose to have it done, do so as soon as possible. Maintain physical and mental health, keep personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
