Complications that may arise from induced abortion include infection, hemorrhage, uterine perforation, intrauterine adhesions, and menstrual disorders. Nursing care is crucial and should ensure a sterile surgical environment to prevent postoperative infections; closely monitor the patient's bleeding status and provide hemostatic treatment when necessary. Attention must also be paid to the precision of surgical procedures to avoid uterine perforation. Postoperatively, hysteroscopy should be performed to help prevent adhesions. Additionally, adequate nutritional support and emotional stability should be provided to promote physical recovery. For patients experiencing menstrual disorders, appropriate hormonal therapy should be administered. Comprehensive nursing care can effectively reduce complications associated with induced abortion and safeguard patient health.
