What are the dangers of medical abortion? You will know after reading this

Medical abortion refers to drug-induced abortion, which is mainly used for early abortion within 40 days of pregnancy. Although it is less harmful than other methods, it is also harmful. Medical abortion may cause dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation, as well as habitual abortion and heavy bleeding. In severe cases, it may affect reproductive function. Therefore, if we do not want children, we must take measures to avoid harm to the body caused by abortion.

Because medical abortion has fewer side effects and is quick and easy, some women choose medical abortion to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. However, medical abortion also has many hazards. Women must go to a regular hospital for medical abortion. Let's learn about the hazards of medical abortion.
1. Bacterial infection: After medical abortion, the embryonic sac tissue in the uterine cavity is mostly discharged on the same day. Some patients may encounter incomplete discharge of pregnancy tissue and poor restoration of the uterine membrane, which will lead to longer vaginal bleeding. Long-term irregular bleeding after medical abortion can cause chronic anemia, reduce the body's resistance, and easily cause bacterial infection.
2. Cause heavy bleeding: The disadvantage of medical abortion is that it can easily lead to incomplete abortion. The residual fetal membrane tissue can cause hemorrhage and heavy bleeding. In this case, you must be admitted to the hospital immediately for curettage and cleaning. If you are not rescued in time, your life will be in danger.
3. Inducing habitual abortion: Since medical abortion is less thorough, incomplete abortion may require another abortion operation, which will cause repeated damage to the endometrium, making placenta previa more likely to occur, causing heavy prenatal bleeding or habitual abortion.
4. Symptoms causing dysmenorrhea: Some women will experience dysmenorrhea or aggravated symptoms after medical abortion, with crampy or persistent pain in the lower abdomen during menstruation, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, back pain, breast swelling, and even fainting in severe cases.
5. Menstrual disorders: Anti-pregnancy drugs can affect the growth and development of follicles and even interfere with ovulation. Some women may experience menstrual disorders after medical abortion, which are manifested as shortened or prolonged menstrual cycles and increased menstrual duration.
6. Affecting fertility and causing infertility: Medical abortion can easily lead to blockage of the fallopian tubes and cervical adhesions, causing infertility; Medical abortion can cause excessive damage to the uterus and ovaries, which is also one of the causes of infertility.
