Some pregnant female friends choose induced abortion due to the risk of getting pregnant at an advanced age or other reasons. Artificial abortion refers to the process of removing the gestational sac from the uterus under negative pressure suction. Artificial abortion can cause harm to women's health, especially for elderly pregnant women. So, what are the hazards of elderly induced abortion?
1. During the process of abortion, there may be uterine atony and a higher risk of heavy bleeding. In addition, during the abortion process, there is a higher risk of endometrial damage or adhesion, or uterine cavity infection. As women age, their physical condition declines and their vaginal and overall body resistance decreases, making them more susceptible to damage or infection.
2. After a patient undergoes an abortion, the likelihood of ovarian dysfunction and amenorrhea is very high. Because women's ovarian function gradually declines after the age of 35, especially after the age of 40. If ovarian function declines while also suffering from trauma such as miscarriage, the ovaries are prone to decline under the double blow. So after a miscarriage, pregnant women may experience prolonged menstrual cycles, reduced menstrual flow, and even amenorrhea. In addition, there are other potential risks associated with elderly abortion, such as secondary infertility, placental implantation, cervical canal adhesion, endometrial adhesion, and so on.
The harm of induced abortion in elderly women is significant, and they should think twice before doing so, considering the pros and cons. Repairing the damage to the body after abortion is a long process, and it is recommended not to undergo abortion.
