Is medical abortion harmful to the human body?

1. After medical abortion, immunity is reduced and it is easy to get infected: After taking anti-pregnancy drugs, the fetal sac tissue in the uterus can be discharged on the same day. Sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not fully discharged, the uterine wall is poorly restored, and the vaginal bleeding time is longer, which can last for 2 to 3 weeks, or even 1 to 2 months. Long-term chronic blood loss can cause anemia and weaken the body's immunity. At this time, bacteria often migrate up through the vagina to cause endometrial inflammation.

2. Medical abortion often causes menstrual disorders: anti-pregnancy drugs can inhibit the function of the ovaries, affect the development of eggs and even affect the ovulation period. Some women may experience menstrual disorders after medical abortion, which are mainly manifested by a decrease or increase in menstrual cycles and an increase in menstrual duration.

3. Medical abortion may affect future fertility: If women of childbearing age become pregnant repeatedly or have repeated miscarriages, it will cause repeated damage to the uterine wall. Due to the damage to the uterine wall, once they want to have a normal pregnancy, it is easy to develop placenta previa, which can cause prenatal bleeding and even cause habitual miscarriage.

4. Groups that are contraindicated for medical abortion: patients with ectopic pregnancy, patients with hypertension, women with early pregnancy whose menstruation has stopped for more than 49 days, patients with serious heart, liver, and kidney diseases, patients over 34 years old, those with prostate contraindications such as glaucoma, asthma, and allergic constitution, women with endocrine diseases or tumors related to growth hormone, such as uterine fibroids, and those who have used medical abortion multiple times.
