For female friends who experience unexpected pregnancy, if they do not plan to continue the pregnancy in the later stage, they should undergo induced abortion in a timely manner at a suitable time after pregnancy. However, some women who have this situation may delay the pregnancy for too long before considering abortion. So, what are the dangers of abortion after more than four months?
1. The harm of having an abortion after more than four months is significant because the gestational age is relatively high and the fetus has already developed into a embryonic form. At this time, artificial abortion cannot be performed. If there are special circumstances that require termination of pregnancy, induced abortion surgery is necessary. Induced abortion requires the female cervix to be fully dilated, but it is not yet in the stage of childbirth. The cervix is tight and has not softened, so dilating the cervix can easily cause local damage and increase discomfort such as pain.
2. Induced abortion at a later stage of pregnancy increases the risk of postoperative complications. The damage to the endometrium is also significant, which can easily lead to placental residue, uterine inflammation and infection, formation of uterine adhesions, and even infertility.
3. After induced abortion, it is also easy to cause cervical dysfunction, vaginitis, cervicitis, and endometritis, which are some common complications after induced abortion. In short, abortion at four months can cause significant harm to one's physical health, so women must be cautious after pregnancy.
