What are the side effects of medical abortion?

Medical abortion is the first choice for many women who want to have abortion because of its simplicity and speed. However, medical abortion also has many hazards. Women who want to have medical abortion should pay more attention. Let's learn about the side effects of medical abortion.

1. Infection: Medical abortion takes longer than artificial abortion. Sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not fully discharged, the uterine membrane is not restored well, and the vaginal bleeding lasts longer, which can last for 2-3 weeks or even 1-2 months. Long-term chronic blood loss can cause anemia and reduce the body's resistance. At this time, bacteria often go back through the vagina and cause inflammation of the endometrium.

2. Impact on fertility: It can cause repeated damage to the endometrium. Due to the damage to the endometrium, women are more likely to have placenta previa when they become pregnant in the future, which can cause heavy bleeding before delivery. Due to multiple miscarriages, some women may also have habitual miscarriages.

3. Affecting ovarian function: inhibiting ovarian function, affecting the growth and development of follicles and even ovulation. Some women may experience menstrual disorders after medical abortion, which is manifested as shortened or prolonged menstrual cycle. The harm of medical abortion to the body includes increased menstrual volume.

4. Incomplete abortion: Not all women are suitable for medical abortion. If the abortion is incomplete, it will affect the contraction of the uterus and the repair of the endometrial wound, and significantly increase the amount of vaginal bleeding, which is 2 to 3 times more than the normal menstrual volume. In severe cases, heavy bleeding may occur, leading to anemia and shock. At this time, blood transfusion and emergency surgery for curettage and hemostasis are required.

The above are the possible side effects of medical abortion, so please pay attention to mothers who want medical abortion. You must go to a regular hospital for medical abortion, take medicine in time and go to the hospital for follow-up after the abortion. Don't take it lightly.
