What are the dangers for women after abortion?

1. Infection

Some informal clinics have incomplete facilities and lax disinfection, which can easily cause infection to the mother.

2. Endometriosis

Repeated dilation of the cervical canal can easily cause damage and adhesion of the cervical canal, leading to menstrual blood retention, inducing endometriosis and causing dysmenorrhea.

3. Cause endocrine disorders

After pregnancy, the progesterone in women's bodies will increase, the endometrium will thicken, and the breasts will enlarge, thus laying the foundation for the development of the fetus. However, an inappropriate abortion will cause sudden changes in the body's endocrine system. If the body has not yet adjusted, and then an abortion is performed, it will cause endocrine disorders.

4. Increased spontaneous abortion rate

A common complication after artificial abortion is cervical injury, especially in unmarried women, the possibility of cervical injury is greater. When the woman becomes pregnant again after marriage, premature birth or late miscarriage may be caused by cervical incompetence.

5. Increased perinatal mortality

Some artificial abortion operations damage the endometrial muscle layer, causing placental blood circulation disorders during the next pregnancy, causing placental insufficiency, resulting in fetal hypoxia, slow growth, premature stillbirth and increased neonatal mortality.

6. Pelvic inflammatory disease

Multiple abortions will increase the chance of uterine infection and the incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease. In severe cases, it can also lead to uterine adhesions and menstrual disorders. If pelvic inflammatory disease recurs, it will cause chronic lower abdominal pain, seriously affecting women's quality of life in the future.

7. Damage to the endometrium

Every abortion may damage the endometrium. The more times the scraping is performed, the more serious the damage to the endometrium will be. In severe cases, it may even cause uterine perforation. When you become pregnant again, it is easy for the placenta to implant and adhere, causing dystocia and postpartum hemorrhage.

8. Ectopic pregnancy

According to statistics, nearly 1% of induced abortions are accompanied by infection, which will cause inflammation of the endometrium and fallopian tubes, and inflammation of the endometrium and fallopian tubes is an important cause of ectopic pregnancy.

9. Infertility

According to relevant reports, the infertility rate after unmarried abortion (especially for the first abortion) is as high as 10%. The reasons may be adhesions between the cervix and uterine cavity after surgery, which affects pregnancy; it may also be obstructed fallopian tubes or tubal motility disorders after surgery; or repeated suction and scraping, which causes the endometrium to become thinner and thinner, without the good soil needed for the fertilized egg to implant, affecting the development of the embryo, and in severe cases, causing lifelong infertility.

10. Others

If the pregnancy is too late or the abortion is done illegally, it may cause uterine perforation, heavy bleeding, or severe infection, which may be life-threatening or leave sequelae.

How to nourish after abortion?

It is appropriate not to have too much nutrition, nor to have too little nutrition.

First of all, we must ensure the supply of high-quality protein, adequate vitamins and inorganic salts, especially sufficient iron to prevent the occurrence of anemia.
