Hemorrhage
A blood transfusion may be required due to excessive bleeding from
an abortion.
Laceration of the
Cervix
This causes you to have nearly a 50/50 chance of miscarrying in
your next pregnancy if it is not treated properly during that pregnancy.
A high incidence of cervical damage from the abortion procedure
has raised the incidence of miscarriage in women who have had abortions.
Perforated Bladder
This can cause peritonitis, an inflamed, infected lining of the
abdomen.
Perforated Bowel
This will cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, blood in
stool, peritonitis (an inflamed, infected lining of the abdomen),
and death if not treated quickly enough.
Perforation of the Uterus
This almost always causes peritonitis (an inflamed, infected lining
of the abdomen), similar to having a ruptured appendix.
Severe, Rapid Bleeding
You may develop DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulopathy) from
your abortion. This means your blood does not clot and you will
bleed uncontrollably. DIC is extremely life threatening and difficult
to treat.
Young Women
Complication rates of abortion increase with younger, teen-age women.
