For those who do not want to have a child after pregnancy, they can opt for an abortion. However, abortion can cause significant harm to a woman's body as it involves bleeding, physical damage, and may lead to a series of complications. So, what are the effects of a 4-month abortion?
Abortion at 4 months is called induced labor, which may lead to the following effects:
1. Amniotic fluid embolism: During induced labor, due to the gradual expansion of the cervical canal, the cervix opens wider, and some blood vessels open, the strong and powerful uterine contractions increase the pressure inside the uterine cavity, causing the rupture of the fetal membranes, resulting in some or most of the amniotic fluid flowing into the blood vessels. If not rescued in a timely manner, vaginal bleeding may occur, which can be life-threatening.
2. Infection: This is a common harm of induced abortion. Due to personal physical reasons, some people have poor healing ability or are not suitable for certain drugs. It may also be due to prolonged pregnancy, which increases the difficulty of surgery and increases the risk of postoperative complications.
3. Bleeding: When the amount of bleeding after delivery of the fetus during induced labor reaches 400 milliliters or more, it is medically referred to as mid-term induced labor bleeding. If there is a large amount of bleeding in a short period of time after mid-term induced abortion, the patient may experience shock or even endanger their life.
4. Birth canal injury: This is caused by strong contractions of the uterus during the induction of labor, resulting in the opening of the cervix, posterior fornix, or vaginal opening. Some women with a small cervix or poor elasticity of the cervix may experience uterine rupture.
