Abortion is a serious surgery procedure, which requires corresponding techniques. However, such techniques do not guarantee absence of any complications. Surgery abortion carries a risk of damaging the nearby organs, but due to the nature of the womb, there can be serious consequences to the reproductive future of the woman. Ectopic is a type of pregnancy when the fetus grows and develops in the fallopian tubes. That causes serious risk to the mother and almost certain death to the baby. Women who have terminated their first pregnancy have in five times more chances to have a future ectopic abortion. Infertility is also possible because of a previous abortion. Scientists have proved it.
The main abortion complications that could cause infertility: Approximately 90% of all abortions are performed in the first trimester. The rest 10% of them are late-term abortions often require a special material called laminaria to widen the cervix. This guaranties wide passage, which allows to insert a suction tube. The laminaria could enfeeble the cervix and probably cause infertility.
The next reason is removing of the lower lining of the uterus, caused by powerful scraping.
The appearance of infection after abortion could lead to infertility. To avoid this most women monitor their body temperature after surgical procedure. If the infection is detected in early stage it is easer to treat.
Women who already have gonorrhea are very likely to get pelvic inflammatory process, which causes the future infertility.
Surgical abortions also can cause infertility.
Success woman’s health after abortion can be guaranteed by a competent physician and a woman herself (she has to monitor her body temperature after the procedure).
