Not always the news that she is pregnant can make a woman happy. What if the pregnancy is not welcome? Then the question arises about the abortion and we must weigh the pros and cons. To my great regret, at times there is no other way out. There is not one method of abortion. Many women have heard that one of the safest methods is mini-abortion. However, some of them do not know everything about the harm of mini-abortions.
Mini abortion is a minimal intervention for a period of no more than six weeks, until the fetal egg is firmly held at the uterine wall and thus can be removed without difficulty with an aspirator (special vacuum suction).
The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia, its duration is not more than a few minutes. The advantage of this method of abortion is that it does not need a significant expansion of the cervix, so the harm from such abortion is much less than with a conventional surgical abortion.
Many women treat abortion as something completely safe. However, gynecologists on this account have a different opinion, because, according to observations, no abortion can not do without complications. They can manifest themselves at once (pronounced), and after a considerable time, sometimes many years later (hidden). What can be said for sure, is the harm to the organism will be the less, the less the period of pregnancy. You should not decide on the type of abortion itself - for this you need to consult a gynecologist who will choose the most appropriate method of abortion for the current period of pregnancy.
Despite the fact that mini-abortion is considered less dangerous than surgical, even it can cause serious complications:
"Incomplete" abortion. With it, there is an endometritis (inflammatory process), because of such damage to the fruit egg, part of it can remain in the uterus. If parts of the egg are found in the uterine cavity (using ultrasound), then scraping is carried out using a conventional curette. This complication often happens when the term of pregnancy is incorrectly determined, when the egg already has time to gain a foothold near the uterine wall. If ultrasound after the procedure was not carried out, then the occurrence of complications may signal a rise in temperature, spotting and severe pain in the abdomen. In this case, you should immediately consult a doctor, since the development of inflammation is very dangerous.
Periodic spasms appearing in the lower abdomen. With any ailments, spasms and pains, you need to undergo ultrasound to check for inflammation. If the presence was not confirmed, then a course of treatment with anesthetic and antispasmodic drugs is carried out.
The most terrible thing with mini-abortion is the possibility of a so-called pseudo embolism. In the uterus, instead of negative pressure, a positive is formed, which can lead to clogging of the vessels. Do not forget about the possibility of this complication, although now the likelihood of its occurrence is reduced by using the most modern equipment.
A rare type of complication is damage to the walls of the uterus. Usually, it arises from the incorrect actions of the doctor when measuring the depth of the uterine cavity, which can occur when the gynecologist is poorly qualified.
After abortion, there is always a violation of the hormonal balance, because the natural process of pregnancy is interrupted artificially. Violation of the same balance can lead to such diseases as erosion of the cervix, thrush, endometriosis. Often, the menstrual cycle is lost, which can be accompanied by a loss of menstrual cycles. The risk of cancer increases.
After the mini-abortion procedure, doctors advise 3-4 weeks to avoid physical exertion, minimize sexual activity, carefully take care of proper hygiene of the external genitalia. It is also desirable to stop smoking and drinking alcohol, balance your diet.
Those women who decide on abortion, provided that pregnancy is first, should clearly realize that complications can be very difficult for them, and ultimately it can even lead to complete infertility. Therefore, in this case, you need to think carefully about your decision.
