Which diseases there is pain after abortion

What complications can occur when an abortion?
When abortion is performed in a medical institution of a certified specialist obstetrician-gynecologist frequency of complications is not great and the whole abortion enough safe procedure. The following are the possible complications:

- Infectious inflammation.
- Excessive bleeding.
- Continuing the pregnancy.
- Complexity of pregnancy in the future.

Therefore, the most frequent and dangerous complication of abortion is an infection and inflammation of the uterus - endometritis. First acute, chronic then. When abortion is performed in unsafe conditions, a matter may result in severe sepsis (blood poisoning) is a condition dangerous to life. But this situation is relatively rare.

Bad contractions, early spasm of the cervix leads to retention of blood in the uterus and contributes to inflammation. Therefore, the absence of blood-tinged discharge immediately after the abortion, as well as their abundance of potentially dangerous symptom, requiring treatment by a physician.

Chronic endometritis leads to the change of the properties of the inner lining of the uterus, impairing its ability to take the embryo, i.e. to infertility. This is the most distant consequence of abortion, which, of course, at the moment of getting rid of unwanted pregnancy does not seem relevant, but it takes time, circumstances change and the values of life, the basic instinct of survival of mankind - the instinct of procreation - asserting itself, and to do something it is often too late. Because chronic illnesses can be prevented, but it is almost impossible to cure.

More “harmless” manifestations of chronic endometritis - permanent or intermittent pain in the lower abdomen and lower back, spin-off, violations of the nature of the menstruation, is not amenable to traditional medical treatment. Some assistance may have competently and individually physiotherapy because of its anti-inflammatory and restorative actions.
