So, what are the dangers of having an abortion for women? How to maintain health after an abortion?

What are the dangers of abortion for women?

1. Endometriosis

Repeated suction of uterine cavity contents may cause adhesion of the uterine cavity and cervical canal, and may also cause intrauterine blood accumulation or menstrual blood to flow back into the abdominal cavity, causing endometriosis and cyclical lower abdominal pain.

2. Long-term complications

Such as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, abnormal menstruation, secondary infertility, and endometriosis.

3. Uterine perforation, life-threatening

During pregnancy, the uterine wall becomes soft and thin. Multiple pregnancies and multiple abortions can easily pierce the soft and thin uterine wall, causing uterine perforation and endangering life.

4. Complications during subsequent pregnancy

Infertility, high rates of late miscarriage, high rates of premature birth, high perinatal mortality, increased rates of antepartum and postpartum bleeding, and increased neonatal hemolytic disease.

5. Amenorrhea

Continuous abortions will damage the basal layer of the endometrium repeatedly, causing the functional layer to be unable to grow again. At this time, although the ovaries are fully functional and ovulate on time every month, the functional layer of the endometrium cannot regenerate after shedding, so menstruation will not occur, resulting in amenorrhea.

6. Dystocia and retained placenta during subsequent pregnancy

Repeated abortions often require scraping of the endometrium. The more times the scraping is done, the more damage the endometrium suffers. When you want to get pregnant again, placenta implantation and adhesion are more likely to occur, resulting in dystocia and retained placenta.

7. Recent complications

Incomplete artificial abortion, vaginal bleeding lasting more than 15 days after surgery; endometritis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. due to infection with pathogenic bacteria within 2 weeks after surgery; intrauterine blood accumulation; intrauterine adhesions, postoperative amenorrhea or significantly reduced menstrual volume, sometimes accompanied by periodic lower abdominal pain or uterine enlargement and blood accumulation.

How do women nourish themselves after abortion?

1. Pay attention to dietary supplements

Because abortion causes certain damage to the body, not only does it cause a certain amount of blood loss, but the psychological pressure and physical pain during the abortion process also make the body weaker after the abortion, and some people may even have anemia. It is absolutely necessary to take proper nourishment, and the degree and duration of nourishment should be considered comprehensively according to the physical condition of the aborted person and the amount of blood loss. It is appropriate not to have too much nutrition, nor to have too little nutrition.

First of all, we must ensure the supply of high-quality protein, adequate vitamins and inorganic salts, especially sufficient iron to prevent the occurrence of anemia.

Food selection should be nutritious and easy to digest and absorb. Fresh fish, tender chicken, eggs, animal liver, animal blood, lean meat, soy products, milk, jujube, lotus seeds, fresh fruits and vegetables can be provided.

2. Pay attention to dietary taboos

Do not eat or eat less greasy, raw and cold food. Do not eat radish, hawthorn, bitter gourd, orange and other foods that have a cooling effect on the qi and blood circulation. Eat more easily digestible food. The time for nourishing is preferably half a month. For those who are weak, have poor physical condition, or have lost a lot of blood, the time for nourishing can be appropriately extended.
