Talking about the harm of abortion

At the stage when women are not ready to get pregnant, if they don't take contraceptive measures or fail to do so, it may lead to unintended pregnancy. Induced abortion is a negative measure to solve unplanned pregnancy. Because induced abortion does not conform to people's physiological characteristics, it will always bring some influence to women's health. Some will lead to lifelong regret, and some complications may even be fatal.

According to different pregnancy months, induced abortion can be divided into: artificial termination of early pregnancy (within menopause 12 weeks) and artificial termination of second pregnancy (12-24 weeks).

The methods of artificial termination of early pregnancy are: surgical attraction and drug abortion, and painless abortion and early pregnancy attraction are also carried out at present. The methods of artificial termination of second trimester pregnancy are: drug induced labor and water bag induced labor.

Both of these methods violate the normal physiological process of human beings and easily lead to complications. Although induced abortion in early pregnancy is safe, there are still some complications, which are sometimes unavoidable. Its complications can be roughly divided into:

1, immediate complications during operation: such as induced abortion syndrome, uterine perforation, intestinal tract injury, intraoperative bleeding, etc.

2. Short-term postoperative complications (occurring within one month after operation): such as incomplete abortion, postoperative bleeding, infection, menstrual disorder caused by residual pregnancy tissue, etc.

3. Long-term postoperative complications (which may be related to abortion after several months or years): such as intrauterine adhesion or cervical adhesion, endometriosis, secondary infertility, habitual abortion, etc.

The complications of terminating the second trimester pregnancy are often very serious, such as laceration of soft birth canal, postpartum hemorrhage infection, uterine perforation and organ damage, secondary infertility and so on.

The pain of operation and postoperative complications have also brought mental and psychological trauma to women, and some women have mental depression after operation.

The complications of induced abortion in different physiological stages of women's life are not exactly the same.

For example, married and childless young women, because the cervical canal is too tight, will increase the difficulty of surgery. Unbearable pain can easily lead to abortion syndrome, such as decreased blood pressure, slow heart rate, weak breathing and even apnea. Different degrees of infection after operation can cause tubal obstruction and endometrial damage, resulting in late complications of lifelong infertility. Women who have given birth during lactation or postpartum, if contraceptive measures are not implemented well, will lead to unintended pregnancy. During this period, due to the low level of estrogen in the body, the uterine wall is thin and soft, especially the fragile tissue of uterine wound after caesarean section, which is easy to lead to serious complications such as uterine perforation, massive bleeding and shock, and even requires hysterectomy in severe cases.

Menopausal women (generally 40-50 years old) often neglect contraception because of menstrual disorder, leading to unintended pregnancy. It is not uncommon for women of this age to suffer from uterine perforation and bleeding during abortion due to decreased ovarian function, decreased vaginal resistance, tight cervix, poor uterine sensitivity and poor contractility. Moreover, due to the decline in resistance, the probability of infection after abortion can also increase.

Foreign reports on the mortality rate of induced abortion show that induced abortion still has a certain risk of death. Intraoperative mortality of induced abortion is related to gestational age. The greater the gestational age, the higher the mortality rate. In addition, it also has a very important relationship with the conditions of operating units. Therefore, when an unexpected pregnancy occurs, you should go to a regular hospital for surgery as soon as possible.

There is also a method of drug abortion, also called drug abortion. Drug abortion is safer without using medical devices. But in fact, drug abortion is not available to everyone. People with heart, liver and kidney diseases, diabetes, glaucoma, asthma, epilepsy and women over 42 years old are not suitable for medical abortion. Insufficient drug flow also affects women's health:

1, the biggest disadvantage of drug abortion is that it takes a long time to bleed, and some people bleed for dozens of days. Bleeding for a long time will cause pelvic inflammatory disease, and even affect future fertility.

2. About 5-8% people still need to have curettage if their abortion is unsuccessful or incomplete after taking the medicine.

3. A few people suffer from massive bleeding during slow abortion and need urgent curettage or even blood transfusion. Therefore, drug flow must be carried out in a regular hospital.

4. A few people have serious allergic reactions to drugs.

5, drug flow may cause menstrual disorder.

Knowing the harm of abortion to women's health, we must earnestly implement long-term, stable and reliable contraceptive measures. Through family planning consultation and guidance, you can choose your own satisfactory and safe contraceptive methods. Once contraceptive failure is suspected, emergency contraceptive measures should be taken within 3-5 days after sexual intercourse. Prevent unwanted pregnancy and achieve reproductive health, and your life will be better.
