Medical abortion is not as safe as imagined

1. Infection: After a woman takes anti-pregnancy drugs, the fetal sac tissue in the uterine cavity can be discharged on the same day. Sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not discharged completely, the endometrium is not restored well, and the vaginal bleeding lasts for 2- 3 weeks, or even 1-2 months. Long-term chronic blood loss can cause anemia and reduce the body's resistance. At this time, bacteria often travel retrograde from the vagina and cause endometrial inflammation.

2. Menstrual disorders: Anti-pregnancy drugs can inhibit the function of the ovaries, affect the growth and development of follicles and even interfere with ovulation. After medical abortion, individual women may develop menstrual disorders, manifested as shortened or prolonged menstrual cycles and increased menstrual flow.

3. Impact on future pregnancies: Repeated pregnancies and repeated miscarriages in women of childbearing age can cause repeated damage to the endometrium. Due to damage to the endometrium, once they achieve a normal pregnancy, they are prone to placenta previa, which can cause prenatal hemorrhage and even habitual miscarriage.

4. Incomplete abortion requires another "uterine evacuation": Medical abortion may cause incomplete abortion, requiring uterine evacuation surgery, which can easily induce postoperative infection and lead to infertility.
