Know About The Risks in Abortion
It will be unwise to agree for the abortion procedures without proper and sufficient knowledge of the actual procedures and their side effects. Some real and possible side effects of the surgical procedures are:
Excessive bleeding per vaginal due to incomplete evacuation or atonic uterus.
Injury: Cervical lacerations of varying degrees, which may lead to the formation of broad ligament haematoma.
More clearly damages to the uterus can be said as Perforation Uterus
- Local anaesthesia – which can lead to convulsions cardiorespiratory arrest, death due to intravascular injection or overdose,
- Excessive blood loss
- Cervical shock – vasovagal syncope due to cervical stimulation
Perforation – Injury to major blood vessels, bowel or bladder. Risk is more with advanced gestation.
Sepsis – endometritis, myometritis and pelvic peritonitis
- Haematoma may cause pain
