Abortion refers to the termination of pregnancy through medication or surgical procedures. Regardless of the method chosen, it causes physical harm to the body, differing only in severity. So, what are the risks of abortion?
The risks of abortion can be broadly categorized into physical and psychological aspects.
Physical risks:
1. Post-abortion complications may include irregular menstruation, prolonged vaginal bleeding, recurrent miscarriages, or premature births. It can also impair fertility and potentially lead to infertility.
3. It may trigger various gynecological conditions such as vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and cervicitis.
4. Repeated abortions can cause uterine perforation and endometriosis, leading to infertility or other pathological changes.
Psychological Impact:Many women undergoing their first abortion procedure carry significant psychological burdens, experiencing symptoms like anxiety and depression that may impact future social interactions and family life. If mentally tense during surgery, heightened sensitivity to pain combined with surgical stimulation can easily trigger arrhythmia, hypotension, pallor, chest tightness, and other symptoms.
