Patient's question:
I have had two IUD insertions before, both of which required uterine clearing. At the time, the doctor said it was okay, but a few days later, my body kept not being clean, and they said I still needed uterine clearing. This happened every time. Why is that? I am pregnant again now, but I don’t want to have a child. I’m afraid that after a medication abortion, I’ll need uterine clearing again because it’s already the third time. I’m worried about future complications like being unable to have children. Is that possible? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, induced abortion is a method where a doctor uses instruments to enter the uterine cavity to aspirate or curette to terminate pregnancy. This surgery is generally used as a backup measure for contraceptive failure and is an unavoidable measure, not to be used as a common method of family planning. However, in life, many women of childbearing age neglect to use safe and reliable contraceptive methods and resort to induced abortion at the hospital once they become pregnant, leading to repeated "abortions." They are unaware that this process can bring various adverse effects to the body and even cause premature aging.Hormonal Changes Lead to Declining Body Function
Generally, most women only consider the physical damage and pain caused by "abortion," failing to recognize the impact of painless hormonal changes on the body. In reality, physical damage heals quickly, and pain passes in a short time. However, the mysterious endocrine changes have a lasting effect on the body that cannot be recovered from in just a few days. As the saying goes, "delivery is like a ripe melon falling from the vine," indicating that childbirth is a natural physiological phenomenon, and the body is well-adapted and prepared for it. However, artificially interrupting pregnancy causes a sudden drop in the body's endocrine levels, without a gradual adaptation process, which is a hidden blow to the body. If induced abortion is repeated multiple times, the body will suffer both obvious and hidden damage, gradually leading to a decline in various functions and premature aging. Additionally, incomplete curettage or uterine perforation, endometritis, abnormal uterine bleeding due to poor uterine involution, and menstrual disorders are also relatively common during "abortion."
Do Not Treat Induced Abortion as a Contraceptive Method
