Complications Of An Abortion



Complications of an abortion include hemorrhage, embolism, cervical injury, chronic abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, infection, and perforation of the uterus. In addition, some other injuries that can cause infection during an abortion procedure include punctures to other organs and complications caused by anesthesia. A patient's chances of having complications of an abortion that can lead to infection are if the patient has pelvic inflammatory disease are if she has an STD at the time of the procedure. Cervical injury, perforation of the uterus, and having a pelvic inflammatory disease can all have major effects on future pregnancies. Women acquire scar tissue with cervical and uterine injuries. Cervical weakness can cause an increased risk for miscarriage. "In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace" (Ephesians 1:17).



Women who have other health problems at the time of termination of a pregnancy are more likely to have complications of an abortion. Some of the diseases that can make a female more susceptible to infection and prolong healing are diabetes, heart disease, endometriosis, and bleeding disorders. When a patient has diabetes she is impaired due to wounds being slow to heal. Conditions that lower ones immune system such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune disorders can also delay healing after having an abortion. When a patient is being treated for cancer her immune system becomes compromised making her susceptible to infection. Women who get an infection from terminating a pregnancy can develop sepsis which is a serious infection in the bloodstream. Unfortunately septic shock can lead to death because the infection is carried to major organs through the bloodstream.



Uterine damage can cause abnormal development of the placenta. The effects on the developing child may result in fetal malformation, cerebral palsy, being premature and death. The mother can have excessive bleeding during the labor because of the abnormal development of the placenta putting her life and the child's at risk. Uterine damage can increase bleeding, abdominal pain, and fever caused by perforation of major blood vessels. Complications of an abortion may not show up until the female becomes pregnant with another child. In addition, bowel and bladder injuries may have occurred along with the uterus. Signs and symptoms of bowel injury would be abdominal pain, blood in the stool, along with nausea and vomiting. Bladder injury signs would be blood in the urine and pain. Large amounts of blood from the bowel or bladder need to be checked immediately because of internal bleeding. A woman can lose a great deal of blood very quickly when there are injuries pertaining to internal organs.



Psychological complications of an abortion exist for many women who decide to terminate a pregnancy. Guilt feelings and numbness are very common. Some females develop nervous disorders, sleep disturbances, sexual dysfunction, eating disorders, anger issues, and eventually have relationship problems. Repressing feelings is common as well. Becoming obsessive over becoming pregnant again after having an abortion is possible. Depression, social withdrawal, promiscuous behavior, and low self-esteem are also common. A woman may not realize that these psychological problems stem from having the abortion unless counseling is searched out especially if a significant amount of time has past since the procedure was done. Women who believe in God and what the Bible says will have difficulty resolving their beliefs to what they've done because down deep most believe they have murdered their own child. Christian counseling will help the patient come to terms with what has transpired. Seeking God in prayer and asking for forgiveness is vital in order for healing to take place and then the patient must forgive herself.



A woman trying to repress feelings over having an abortion is likely to develop avoidance behavior. She will avoid any topic that might remind her of the procedure. Complications of an abortion can result in social withdrawal. Females who were once outgoing and carefree may become quiet, withdrawn and very serious. They will not want to hang out with peers who have children of their own because it will be a reminder of what they have lost. However, reaction to trauma can be different for everyone. Some women become obsessed with children. They want to be around children as much as possible after terminating a pregnancy. That is at the root of all their conversations with others and what they think about most of the time. Both types of psychological complications of an abortion are indicative of a person experiencing trauma which can not be reconciled by the mind.



Unfortunately the effects and complications of an abortion can be so psychologically damaging that a woman will become severely depressed and eventually contemplate suicide. She gets to the point where living with the guilt is just too unbearable. Peace and forgiveness can be found with the Lord. Reading God's Word is an important step in renewing one's mind, changing one's perspective, and realizing that God is a forgiving God. He wants us to come to Him with our problems and when we do there is hope, forgiveness, peace, and healing. Basically, all we have to do is ask with a repentant heart and then believe what God says in His Word, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; For everyone that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened" (Matthew 7:7-8).
