Is medical abortion harmful? There are 6 major dangers

Medical abortion is a common method of abortion. Many women choose this method of abortion after discovering an unexpected pregnancy. However, when doing medical abortion, you must pay attention to doing it under the guidance of a doctor, otherwise it will cause greater harm. Some women are prone to infection, heavy bleeding, habitual abortion, and dysmenorrhea due to incomplete medical abortion; in severe cases, it may even affect the normal function of the ovaries, resulting in incomplete abortion or even infertility.

If you find out that you are pregnant unexpectedly and you do not plan to have a child, there are two ways to deal with it. One is to choose medical abortion, and the other is to choose surgical abortion. Many women will choose medical abortion for privacy reasons after they become pregnant, but medical abortion also needs to be used with caution, because this abortion method has certain limitations and is only applicable to the early pregnancy stage. If you are not careful, some accidents may occur. So, is the harm of medical abortion serious?
1. Cause infection <br/>Medical abortion takes longer, and sometimes the pregnancy tissue may not be fully discharged. Vaginal bleeding lasts longer, which can last for 2 to 3 weeks or even longer. Long-term chronic blood loss can cause anemia, resulting in a decrease in the body's resistance. At this time, bacteria may take the opportunity to retrograde through the vagina and cause endometrial inflammation.
2. Causes heavy bleeding <br/>Medical abortion can easily lead to incomplete abortion. The residual fetal membrane tissue can cause hemorrhage and heavy bleeding. At this time, you need to be admitted to the hospital immediately for curettage and cleaning. If the bleeding is not stopped in time, it will be life-threatening.
3. Inducing habitual miscarriage <br/>If incomplete abortion occurs after medical abortion, further surgical treatment is required. This will cause repeated damage to the endometrium and placenta previa during the next pregnancy, causing heavy prenatal bleeding or habitual miscarriage.
4. Dysmenorrhea <br/>Some women will experience dysmenorrhea after medical abortion, which is persistent cramping pain in the lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and even fainting in severe cases.
5. Impact on ovarian function <br/> Poor medical abortion can affect the growth and development of follicles and even ovulation. Some women will experience menstrual disorders after medical abortion, which is manifested as shortened or prolonged menstrual cycles.
6. Incomplete abortion <br/>If medical abortion is incomplete, it will affect uterine contraction, endometrial wound repair will not be good, vaginal bleeding will increase significantly, more than about twice the normal menstrual volume, and in severe cases anemia and shock may occur, at this time, blood transfusion and emergency surgery to curettage and stop bleeding are required.
