What complications may result from abortion?

What complications can abortion cause? I believe many people have this question. If this period is not handled properly, it can also cause serious consequences. Although abortion is a "short confinement", it should be treated the same as a full-term birth "long confinement". Let's follow the experts to understand the complications caused by abortion .

Uterine bleeding is a complication caused by artificial abortion. The amount of bleeding during surgery is usually less than 30 ml. If the amount of bleeding is large, in addition to giving uterine contraction drugs, the residual embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity should be quickly removed. Bleeding usually lasts 3 to 4 days after abortion. If the bleeding is like menstrual flow and continues, it may be an incomplete abortion or a combined infection, and you should go to the hospital for examination.

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

Uterine perforation is extremely rare. If the surgeon pays attention to it and performs the operation carefully and gently, it can be avoided. If it is only uterine perforation without intra-abdominal bleeding, the patient can be hospitalized for observation. Otherwise, the perforation should be sutured immediately. This is also a complication caused by abortion.

Infection is also a major complication of abortion. If genital inflammation is not controlled before the operation, or if aseptic operation is not strictly performed during the operation, pelvic infection may occur, and anti-infection treatment should be carried out immediately.
