Possible adverse reactions after abortion

Ending pregnancy through abortion can cause great physical and mental harm to the patient. Due to the influence of the operation and the patient's physical fitness, the patient may also experience various symptoms after the operation, which need to be treated in time to avoid adverse effects on physical recovery.

1. Uterine bleeding

Uterine bleeding may be caused by premature uterine injury during the operation or incomplete abortion. If the amount of bleeding is large, exceeding 30ml, in addition to giving uterine contraction drugs, the residual embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity should be quickly removed. Bleeding generally lasts about 3 days after abortion. If the bleeding frequency is too high, the amount of bleeding is large, and there is abdominal pain, it may be complicated with infection and requires immediate treatment.

2. Residual pregnancy tissue

If the embryonic tissue is not completely removed during the operation, it may cause bleeding and lower abdominal pain. Traditional Chinese medicine and uterine contraction drugs can be used to promote its expulsion, or even perform curettage again to completely clear the uterine cavity.

3. Uterine perforation

Uterine perforation is mainly caused by surgical instruments. If the operator pays attention and operates carefully and gently, it can be avoided. If there is no intra-abdominal bleeding after uterine perforation, the patient can be hospitalized for observation. Otherwise, the perforation should be sutured immediately.

4. Intrauterine adhesions

It rarely occurs, but is usually caused by damage to the cervix and uterine cavity during surgery. It can block the discharge of menstrual blood, causing amenorrhea, cyclical abdominal pain, long-term infertility or repeated miscarriage. The main treatment method is to dilate the cervix and separate adhesions before placing an intrauterine contraceptive device to prevent adhesions in the uterine cavity again.
