What are the risks associated with abortion?
Disease description:
I accidentally became pregnant and would like to have an abortion. What are the risks associated with abortion?
Undergoing an abortion may lead to intraoperative or postoperative hemorrhage, uterine perforation, and—in severe cases—Asherman’s syndrome (intrauterine adhesions), potentially resulting in infertility. Additionally, failure to implement appropriate anti-inflammatory measures following the procedure may increase the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, or endometriosis.
