Uterus after abortion
After having an abortion within a week, the uterus should snap into place, especially if the woman is young and healthy.
However, subsequently, an abortion may affect the further functioning of this organ. Each type of induced abortion, whether it is medical, vacuum or surgical abortion, affects the female genital organs in different ways.
The uterus after an abortion and during its implementation is more influenced than other organs. If a woman decides to have an abortion in the early stages of pregnancy (up to 6 weeks), then her choice will fall on a tableted abortion - the most gentle type of artificial termination of pregnancy. At later stages of pregnancy, medical abortion becomes ineffective, since the fertilized egg after an abortion may not come out completely, and the woman will need to cure the uterine cavity, which will negate all the benefits of this type of abortion.
At a gestation period of 6 to 12 weeks, a vacuum abortion is performed by inserting a thin disposable catheter into the uterine cavity. This catheter is attached to the suction, under local anesthesia, it sucks the ovum out after the abortion.
Starting from the 12th week of pregnancy, a woman can no longer carry out an abortion of her own free will, it can be performed only for medical or social reasons. Medical indications include fetal anomalies, as well as a condition in which pregnancy threatens the life and health of a woman, social indications include the onset of pregnancy due to rape, a court decision to restrict parental rights, the death of a husband during pregnancy and a woman's stay in prison.
Condition of the uterus after an abortion
Due to the fact that most of the manipulations during artificial pregnancy are done "blindly", in most cases, the uterus after an abortion suffers the most.
During an abortion, perforation, rupture of the cervix or the walls of the uterus can occur, which in the future can lead to the removal of this organ. Multiple abortions lead to the fact that the walls of the uterus become very thin, and this prevents the attachment of the ovum, which is the cause of infertility in most women. The uterus after an abortion can be severely damaged, which is the cause of constant dizziness, sharp and sharp pain in the lower abdomen, fever and bleeding. If a woman loses a lot of blood during the operation, then she may develop tachycardia, and her blood pressure will be sharply reduced.
The uterus after an abortion can be damaged in different places, so the symptoms that signal the presence of problems will be different.
Damage to the uterus after an abortion without the absence of bleeding and trauma to the abdominal cavity may be asymptomatic, but perforation of the uterus will manifest itself as a sharp pain in the abdominal cavity with the development of shock.
The greatest danger during an abortion is that the doctor may not pay attention to the damage to the uterus and will continue the operation, which will cause irreversible damage to the genitals, intestines and bladder.
If the operation is carried out under general anesthesia, then the damage to the uterus after an abortion will not be accompanied by severe pain, in which case it is much more difficult for the doctor to identify complications, he will carry out the operation without knowing that thereby causes irreparable harm to the woman's body, which will lead to irreversible consequences. and sometimes fatal.
Through the damaged walls of the uterus after an abortion, saline solution, with the help of which the surgical termination of pregnancy is carried out, can enter the abdominal cavity, which entails damage to the organs located next to the uterus.
The state of the cervix after an abortion
In addition to the fact that termination of pregnancy is a serious psychological trauma for a woman, especially when the operation is performed at a later date, damage to the cervix after an abortion may occur, which leads to endocervicitis.
A healthy woman has a mucous plug in the cervical canal that protects the genitals from infection. During an abortion, the chemical composition of the vaginal environment is disturbed, due to which the mucous plug collapses, and the infection penetrates into the cervical canal, and then into the uterus itself.
Inflammation of the cervix after an abortion is the impetus for the development of infertility, it is accompanied by various symptoms, including aching and pulling pains in the abdomen, itching in the genital area, abundant or scanty mucous membranes, mucopurulent or purulent discharge.
