What side effects can medical abortion bring? What are the hazards of medical abortion to the body

Some people choose drug induced abortion due to their desire for affordability, which, as the name suggests, refers to the termination of early pregnancy through oral medication. Early pregnancy does not require surgery, and artificial abortion is achieved through medication or injections. Up to now, the commonly used drugs are Prostaglandin and mifepristone tablets. The latter can cause the uterus to become detached, degenerated, necrotic and the cervix to soften. The former can make the Uterine contraction contract and promote the excretion of embryos. However, drug abortion will bring some side effects to the body, and people should pay attention to it.

What side effects can medical abortion bring to the body?

1. Drug side effects

Medication can cause some adverse reactions to the body, such as vaginal bleeding, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Some patients may also experience pale complexion, continuous sweating, bradycardia, chest tightness, palpitations, and restlessness within a few minutes of medication.

2. Incomplete abortion

Medical abortion often leads to incomplete miscarriage, where a portion of embryonic tissue remains in the uterine cavity, and there may still be persistent bleeding and lower abdominal pain after miscarriage.

3. Excessive bleeding

During the medical abortion process, the bleeding time is relatively long and there is a lot of bleeding, especially when there is continuous massive bleeding. If the uterus is not cleared and blood transfusion is not done in a timely manner, it may be life-threatening.

4. Medical abortion failure

After 8 days of medication, the fetal sac was still not seen to be discharged. When going to the hospital for B-ultrasound examination, there were still gestational materials in the uterine cavity, which is a failure of medical abortion. It is necessary to go to the hospital again for a curettage surgery.

5. Causing female infertility

Drug induced abortion often leads to blocked fallopian tubes and cervical adhesions, leading to female infertility. Poor medical abortion and improper uterine cleaning surgery can also cause female infertility. In addition, medical abortion can cause significant damage to the ovaries and uterus.

6. Triggering inflammation

After general medical abortion, the embryo sac tissue in the uterine cavity can be discharged on the same day. Sometimes, the tissue is not completely discharged, the uterine membrane is not well restored, and vaginal bleeding lasts for a long time, usually lasting 2-3 weeks, or even one to two months. Long term chronic blood loss can cause anemia, reduce resistance, and bacteria will retrograde from the vagina, thus leading to Endometritis.

What should I pay attention to before and after medical abortion?

1. Before medical abortion

Before medical abortion, a B-ultrasound examination is required to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. By doing B-ultrasound, the size and growth position of the embryo can be understood to determine whether it is suitable for medical abortion. Pregnant women who must stop menstruation for 50 days, and those under the age of 34, are eligible for medical abortion. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure good health without any Contraindication. People suffering from serious systemic diseases, liver and kidney dysfunction, heart disease, three high glaucoma, asthma and anemia should not take medicine. It is necessary to go to a hospital with emergency treatment and blood transfusion and infusion conditions, and pay more attention to observation to avoid accidents.
