Patient's question:
Why do women need to check for cervical erosion before an abortion? Why do women need to check for cervical erosion before an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, the reason for checking the cause of cervical erosion before an induced abortion is: During the induced abortion procedure, surgical instruments are inserted through the vagina and into the uterine cavity via the cervix. This makes the originally closed uterine cavity fully exposed. At this point, external bacteria and inflammation can easily ascend and infect the uterine cavity, leading to endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and tubal inflammation, which can further result in tubal blockage and cause infertility. Additionally, patients with cervical erosion have fragile erosion tissue that is prone to bleeding, which can make the surgery more difficult. Therefore, before undergoing an induced abortion, a gynecological examination must be performed. If cervical erosion or other reproductive tract infections are detected, the inflammation must be treated first before the surgery can proceed.
