In modern society, people are becoming more and more open-minded, with more and more unmarried men and women cohabiting, and the number of women who accidentally become pregnant has also increased year by year. Accidental pregnancy brings a lot of inconvenience to life and work, so many people choose to undergo abortion. Although abortion is a small surgery, it has a significant impact on women's physical health. So, what's the harm of women doing abortion? How to maintain health after abortion?
What are the dangers of women having abortions?
1. Endometriosis
Repeated aspiration of the contents of the uterine cavity may cause adhesion of the uterine cavity and cervical canal, and may also cause uterine cavity hematocele or menstrual blood flowing back into the abdominal cavity, causing endometriosis and periodic lower abdominal pain.
2. Long term complications
Such as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, menstrual abnormalities, secondary infertility, and endometriosis.
3. Uterine perforation, life-threatening
During pregnancy, the uterine wall becomes soft and thin, and multiple pregnancies and artificial abortion operations can easily penetrate the soft and thin uterine wall, causing uterine perforation and endangering life.
4. Complications during second pregnancy
Infertility, late miscarriage, premature delivery, perinatal mortality, increased prenatal and postpartum bleeding rates, and increased neonatal hemolysis.
5. Amenorrhea occurs
After repeated artificial abortions, the basal layer of the endometrium is repeatedly damaged, resulting in the inability of the functional layer to regenerate. At this time, although the ovarian function is intact and ovulation is scheduled every month, amenorrhea occurs because the functional layer of the endometrium cannot regenerate after it has fallen off, which prevents menstruation.
6. Dystocia and placenta retention during re pregnancy
Repeated artificial abortion surgery often involves scraping off the endometrium. The more times you scrape, the greater the damage to the endometrium. When you want to conceive again, it is easy to have placenta implantation and adhesion, resulting in dystocia and placenta retention.
