There are various methods of abortion, such as medical abortion, induced abortion, and natural abortion. Regardless of which method of abortion is used, as long as the abortion is not completely performed, it is necessary to perform uterine curettage. Failure to perform uterine curettage poses a great threat to women's health, and many people do not take it seriously. So, what are the consequences of not clearing the uterus after an abortion?
If the abortion is complete, there is no need for curettage. However, if the abortion is incomplete and not performed in a timely manner, it can have a significant impact, such as causing intrauterine infection. If there is residual embryonic tissue in the uterus after abortion, not performing curettage in a timely manner can easily lead to intrauterine infection, resulting in abdominal pain and prolonged vaginal bleeding. This situation can easily lead to gynecological inflammation, which can have multiple impacts on women's health.
Secondly, it can also affect future fertility. If there is residual uncleaned uterus after miscarriage, it can cause some gynecological diseases and affect future fertility. For example, when pelvic inflammatory disease occurs and causes tubal adhesions, it can lead to infertility or low chances of conception in the future.
Incomplete abortion can also cause lower back pain, prolonged bleeding, and excessive bleeding, especially if there is a lot of residual tissue in the uterus, which can easily lead to problems such as heavy bleeding and infection. Therefore, when women experience intermittent abdominal pain, even accompanied by a sense of heaviness, or prolonged bleeding accompanied by fever and purulent discharge after abortion, they should be alert to the existence of incomplete abortion and seek medical examination in a timely manner.
