Effects of pregnancy and abortion

When a woman is pregnant, it brings new hopes in her life. Many physical and mental changes occur in the lives of women during pregnancy, which are often pleasant experiences. However, if a woman does not want a pregnancy, she can get a medical abortion within a legal time frame. Many times, due to various reasons, women have to resort to this option.

Although this is a personal decision of the woman, many changes and symptoms may occur in her body during this process. After abortion, women may have to face many physical and mental challenges. In this article, we will tell you about 5 symptoms, if noticed, you should immediately contact a doctor.

5 symptoms to pay attention to after abortion

excessive bleeding

Heavy bleeding after abortion is a normal process, which can continue for three to four weeks. If bleeding is heavy and you are changing two sanitary pads in 1-2 hours, then it is not normal. In case of dizziness or large blood clots, contact the doctor immediately.


cramping pain

After abortion, the woman’s uterus starts returning to its normal size, which can cause period-like pain. Sometimes this pain can be more intense. You can get relief by drinking warm water, keeping a hot bag or taking painkillers.

Infection

After an abortion, the uterus may remain open for some time, increasing the risk of pelvic or urinary tract infection. To avoid infection, use tampons and take care of vaginal hygiene. If infection occurs, consult a doctor.

Fever

Fever after abortion can be a sign of infection. If you have pain in your lower abdomen and the temperature is above 100 degrees, contact a doctor immediately.

depression

Depression is a common problem after abortion. Taking stress is not the solution. It would be better if you relax your mind and body and stay away from negative thoughts. Try to focus on the present. If depression worsens, contact a doctor.
