What harm can medical abortion cause to women?

The principle of medical abortion is to use drugs to prevent the fertilized egg from developing, causing it to necrotize and fall off, ultimately achieving the purpose of terminating pregnancy. Patients within 49 days of pregnancy can choose medical abortion to terminate pregnancy. Medical abortion avoids the pain of artificial abortion surgery, but it also has some disadvantages that can endanger the patient's health.

Failed abortion

If the gestational sac has not been expelled after 8 days of medication, and B-ultrasound examination confirms that the gestational sac is still present in the uterus, a second uterine curettage is required, which is equivalent to two consecutive abortions for the patient, causing great harm to the patient's health.

Excessive blood loss

Bleeding after medical abortion can usually stop within 7 to 15 days. If the patient bleeds for a long time or the bleeding continues, it may cause excessive blood loss and endanger the patient's life.

Infect

Improper handling after medical abortion may lead to infection or incomplete abortion, which may cause heavy bleeding, abdominal pain, fever, etc., and may even affect future pregnancies.

Endocrine disorders

Medical abortion affects the patient's normal endocrine system function and can lead to irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, etc.

Side effects of medical abortion

Some patients may experience some adverse reactions after taking the medicine. The severity of the reaction varies depending on the patient's physical condition. For patients with severe reactions, if not treated in time, it may be life-threatening.

Tip: Medical abortion requires the correct use of drugs under the guidance of a doctor. Do not purchase related drugs privately to avoid danger and life-threatening consequences.
