Why do women need to undergo gynecological examinations before having an abortion? Women must know these common sense before having an abortion

Before having an abortion, many women feel uncomfortable with the tedious gynecological examination, so many people try to avoid the examination, which actually has potential risks. Because if a woman has an abortion while suffering from vaginitis, it is likely to cause a wider range of inflammation.

Under normal circumstances, acidic vaginal secretions can effectively inhibit the survival, reproduction and spread of bacteria in the vagina. A delicate ecological balance is formed between the vagina and these bacteria, and vaginitis is generally not easy to occur.

However, when women are pregnant, the pH balance of their vagina will be unbalanced, their immunity will be reduced, and they are prone to vaginitis. The uterus that nurtures the fetus is connected to the vagina through the cervical canal. If necessary examinations and treatments are not performed before artificial abortion, pathogens may be directly introduced into the uterine cavity, leading to various inflammations, such as endometritis. Patients may experience high fever, abdominal pain, and severe cases may be life-threatening.

Of course, some patients think that as long as they take antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment after surgery, there will be no problem. However, after abortion, the immunity of the whole body and the vagina will decrease. If the patient can no longer ensure adequate rest and recuperation, the antibacterial effect of antibiotics will be greatly affected. Moreover, no antibiotic is omnipotent. The possibility of postoperative infection such as adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease and other inflammations is still very high.

Therefore, vaginal discharge examination before abortion is a necessary examination and step to ensure women's health. You must not bury hidden dangers to your health just for the sake of saving trouble.
