What are the dangers of induced abortion?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? How small is the harm? What are the dangers of induced abortion?

Doctor's answer:

The hazards of induced abortion at 7 months mainly include severe bleeding or cervical laceration. Since the gestational age is relatively advanced, there is a higher risk of re-rupture or even severe bleeding during the procedure. Additionally, due to the insufficient gestational age, the cervix may not be fully mature, making it more prone to cervical laceration during the induction process. Another hazard during the procedure is the premature detachment of the placenta or amniotic fluid embolism.
