How harmful is the first abortion?

The first abortion may bring a variety of health risks, including missed suction, residual, bleeding, anesthesia accidents and intrauterine adhesions. Although painless abortion is technically considered to be relatively safe, it does not mean that it has no potential health risks.

1. Missed aspiration and residual problems: Missed aspiration and residual aspiration are common risks during abortion surgery. Missed aspiration refers to the failure to completely aspirate the embryonic tissue during the operation, which may require a second operation. Residual embryonic tissue may cause infection or continuous bleeding, affecting uterine health.

2. Risk of bleeding: Bleeding is one of the common side effects of abortion. Although the amount of bleeding is controllable in most cases, in some cases, severe bleeding may occur and even require emergency medical intervention. Excessive bleeding can not only lead to anemia, but may also be life-threatening.

3. Anesthesia accidents: Painless abortion usually uses anesthetic drugs to reduce pain, but anesthesia itself has risks. Individuals may react differently to anesthetic drugs, which may lead to allergic reactions, respiratory depression or other unexpected situations. Choosing experienced anesthesiologists and regular medical institutions for surgery can reduce the risks of anesthesia.

4. Intrauterine adhesion: This is one of the possible complications after abortion. Intrauterine adhesion refers to scar tissue formed after damage to the endometrium, which may lead to menstrual abnormalities, infertility and other problems. The incidence of adhesion increases after multiple abortions, but the first abortion should not be taken lightly.

5. Psychological impact: In addition to the physical risks, the impact of abortion on mental health cannot be ignored. Many women may experience depression, guilt, or anxiety after surgery. It is recommended to seek psychological support and professional help after surgery to promote psychological recovery.

Although abortion surgery is technically mature, its potential health risks cannot be ignored. By choosing a regular medical institution and making good preparations before and after the operation, you can effectively reduce the risks and ensure your health.
