Infertility after medical abortion
The vast majority of women, namely ninety percent, who are queued for IVF, have become infertile after an abortion and are now trying to become pregnant without results. Many women are very afraid of abortion, not only because it is accompanied by painful sensations and the inability to save the child, but also because they are afraid of never having children again.
It should be noted that this fear is not groundless. Even medical abortion, considered the safest method, can lead to infertility. Infertility after medical abortion is due to the fact that instructions for taking medications have been violated, complications have arisen or doctors' recommendations have not been observed. The cause may be an inflammatory disease of the appendages or uterus, as well as hormonal changes that do not respond to therapy.
Medication abortion can be safe only if you follow the instructions carefully. Unfortunately, not everything depends on the girl herself - sometimes there are unqualified doctors, but you can still partially control their actions. The first thing to be seen is the existence of a license to carry out such activities. Only after the permit is before your eyes, you can agree to an abortion in this medical institution. Otherwise, the clinic may later simply refuse to take responsibility for complications after the abortion, if any. It is important to know - what dose of the drug should be consumed. Mifegin is the only drug that is allowed in Russia for use. The full effect of the drug comes only in a dosage of 600 mg, and this is three tablets. There were cases when the doctor, wanting to save, gave the patient only one or two tablets. With this dosage, complete rejection of the fetus is unlikely to occur, which means that part of the fetal egg will remain in the uterus. In this case, you have to do a procedure for scraping the uterine walls or vacuum aspiration. Such procedures are very traumatic and bear negative consequences, including they can lead to infertility. Another point that should be borne in mind is the need to stay after taking the drug in the hospital for two hours.
There are a number of contraindications for conducting medical abortion. Ignoring them can be very dangerous for health. The doctor should learn about all chronic diseases, and the girl should not hide them. If there are problems with blood coagulability, adrenal insufficiency, heart surgery, obstructive pulmonary swelling, then medical abortion can not be done. It can also be noted that it is not possible to carry out this procedure for pregnant women who have had a pregnancy with an intrauterine device, as well as those who have inflammatory genital diseases. A complete list of contraindications can be found in the product manual.
In addition, the inability to have children after abortion is predisposed to women who have weak physique or vice versa, large women;Also very risky smoking girls. The use of alcohol, although it does not greatly affect reproductive functions, is still an unfavorable factor. Women who are prone to oncological diseases are also at high risk. These diseases can dramatically increase after the termination of pregnancy. Dangerous conditions are cervical erosions, ovarian cysts( some types), mastopathy, uterine fibroids, compaction in the mammary glands.
The reason for infertility after medical abortion can be quite trivial - a simple violation of personal hygiene rules. Toilet after genital abortion should be given special attention, because the body is too vulnerable and the risk of infectious diseases is increased.
After the procedure is to go to the reception to the endocrinologist and check what hormonal disorders have occurred in the body. The doctor, after studying the results of the tests, will be able to select a contraceptive that will restore the menstrual cycle and normalize the work of the ovaries.
