As with every intervention, there are several risks for each
procedure, and abortion has some risks. These are very rare risks due to the
use of modern tools today.
Risks and
possible harms of the abortion procedure:
- Bleeding: Bleeding
may be minor during and after abortion. Unless the gestational week is more
than 10 weeks, there is no risk of excessive bleeding.
- Infection: Since
the abortion procedure is intervened in the uterus, all the instruments used
must be sterile and the vagina and cervix must be cleaned with antiseptic
solution before the procedure. Despite this, infection (endometritis) may
develop in the uterus very rarely after the procedure. Antibiotic therapy is
required.
- Perforation of the
uterus (Uterus perforation): It is a rare complication, but it occurs more
frequently in abortions in advanced gestational weeks. In this case, it is
necessary to make observations, sometimes it may heal without the need for a
spontaneous intervention, or sometimes it may be necessary to repair the area
pierced by the surgery.
- Adhesion in the
uterus (Asherman's syndrome): Very rarely, adhesions may occur due to the
abnormal and overreactive response of tissue in the uterus or excessive
cleaning of the uterus. It is one of the rarest complications after abortion.
- If general anesthesia will be applied, there is a risk of
developing various complications related to it.
- Due to local anesthesia, rarely called vasovagal syncope
may develop and improve in a short time.
- After abortion, it does not cause pregnancy again, that is,
infertility. Lack of repeat pregnancy may be due to another reason.
- After abortion, there may rarely be any parts in the uterus
or accumulation of blood. In this case, the inside of the uterus is cleaned
again with a small intervention.
Rarely there is a risk that pregnancy cannot be taken. In
this case, pregnancy is taken by trying again after 1 week. Especially very
small pregnancies may not be taken the first time, so it may be necessary to
have an abortion by waiting for it to grow a little.
- Rarely there may be menstrual irregularities after
abortion, this is temporary. In abortion procedure, your menstruation will
somehow be the same in 1-2 months after the procedure. The first menstruation
usually occurs 30-40 days after the abortion.
