What are the consequences of medical abortion?

After a medical abortion, women may experience long-term chronic blood loss, followed by anemia, and bacterial infection may retrograde from the vagina, causing inflammation of the female endometrium. Some women may experience menstrual disorders after a medical abortion, and medical abortion may fail, necessitating a second operation.

1. Anemia may occur

After anemic women take anti-pregnancy drugs, the fetal sac tissue in the uterine cavity can be discharged on the same day. Sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not completely discharged, the endometrium recovers poorly, and the vaginal bleeding lasts for a long time, which can last for 2 to 3 weeks or even 1 to 2 months. Long-term chronic blood loss can cause anemia.

2. Uterine infection may occur

Due to long-term chronic blood loss, the body's resistance can be reduced. At this time, bacteria often go back up from the vagina and cause inflammation of the endometrium.

3. Menstrual disorders

Anti-pregnancy drugs can inhibit ovarian function, affect the growth and development of follicles, and even interfere with ovulation. After medical abortion, some women may experience menstrual disorders, which are manifested as shortened or prolonged menstrual cycles and increased menstrual flow.

4. Second surgery for failed medical abortion

There are mainly the following points after medical abortion: Medical abortion may cause incomplete abortion, be cautious of medical abortion failure. In this case, you need to perform another uterine curettage or vacuum aspiration, which will cause a second operation and cause greater harm. Moreover, the drugs used in medical abortion contain hormones, which have great side effects, large bleeding volume, long duration, and easy infection. The most important thing is that medical abortion may cause infertility and affect future fertility, so if there are no special conditions, it is best not to have a medical abortion.

The above are some of the consequences of medical abortion, which involve many aspects, including bacterial infection, anemia, and secondary surgery for incomplete abortion. Therefore, after medical abortion, women must pay attention that there may be some sequelae of medical abortion that need to be considered.
