Patient's question:
I am pregnant with my ex-boyfriend's child. I have no choice but to have an abortion. What are the potential aftereffects of an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, there may be a risk of infection, which can lead to cervical or uterine adhesions. This may result in long-term complications such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, vaginitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. However, with proper post-abortion care, these conditions can be prevented.First, before the procedure, relevant examinations should be conducted to rule out contraindications. During the surgery, the operator must be skilled to avoid any damage to the cervix or endometrium. Strict sterile procedures should be followed, and post-surgery hygiene must be maintained to prevent postoperative infections.
