Why are more and more women having artificial abortions?

Artificial abortion is a last resort remedial measure after contraceptive failure. Generally speaking, occasional artificial abortions do not have any adverse effects on women's health, especially in early pregnancy. After abortion by negative pressure suction, health can be quickly restored, but multiple artificial abortions are harmful to the body. At present, many women have artificial abortions. There are many reasons for this. One is that some people do not master the use of contraceptives or do not insist on using them, which leads to contraceptive failure. Some are caused by the shortcomings of the contraceptive method itself. In addition, some women find that they have a disease that is not suitable for fertility after they become pregnant, so they need to have an artificial abortion. The specific reasons are:

1. Poor contraceptive effect and high contraceptive failure rate. According to a number of epidemiological analyses, the main cause of artificial abortion is contraceptive failure, accounting for about 60% of abortions. The high failure rate of intrauterine contraceptive devices is related to the high use rate of intrauterine contraceptive devices in my country (the use rate of intrauterine contraceptive devices in my country was 40.41% in 1992) and the widespread use of inert metal single rings. Metal single rings have now been gradually replaced by active copper contraceptive devices. The failure of most external contraceptives (including oral contraceptives) is related to the failure to master the correct use method or the lack of contraceptive awareness, the inability to persist, the irregular use and the fluke mentality.

2. Unacceptability of contraception. According to epidemiological analysis, 63.7% of women are unwilling to use oral contraceptives, mainly because they are afraid of affecting health and making people fat; 6.2% of the subjects are unwilling to use condoms, mainly because they are afraid of affecting sexual life and inconvenience. 22% of the subjects have no contraceptive measures, mainly because they are unwilling to use contraceptive methods (38%) and do not know how to use contraception (31%).

3. The pregnancy rate is high during lactation, postpartum or after abortion. It is currently believed that when a nursing mother is fully or nearly fully lactating and in amenorrhea (both conditions must be met at the same time), breastfeeding can provide contraception within 6 months after delivery. It is generally believed that as long as amenorrhea occurs during lactation, postpartum or after abortion, pregnancy is impossible, so contraception is not used and pregnancy occurs. Some scholars believe that the abortion rate is high within 3 years after delivery for women aged 23-29. Some studies have reported that 18% of abortions occur after childbirth, abortion and lactation.

4. Most late-pregnant women request abortion. One reason is that they do not want to have children after marriage for various reasons. The other reason is that they are overly concerned about eugenics and request surgery.

5. Pregnancy before marriage is increasing day by day. Currently, many unmarried young people or those who are registered as unmarried but pregnant are found in the clinic and require artificial abortion. This phenomenon is not good.
