Is curettage and abortion dangerous?

Curettage and abortion is the most common method of terminating pregnancy in modern life. It is the right choice for women to protect themselves and avoid troubles in future life. However, the harm of curettage and abortion to women's bodies cannot be ignored. Especially for women who have undergone several abortions and curettage, the health problems are extremely serious. Let's take a look at whether curettage and abortion are harmful? I hope everyone can understand.

Dangers of curettage :

1. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is caused by dysfunction of the neuroendocrine system and there is no organic lesion in the whole body or reproductive organs. Except for unmarried women in adolescence, curettage is the most commonly used method for treating menorrhagia. Its advantage is that it can not only obtain endometrial tests, but also neatly scrape off the functional layer of endometrium that causes intrauterine bleeding (without scraping off the basal layer to avoid loss of fertility), thereby achieving the dual effects of diagnosis and hemostasis, and has an immediate effect. However, the harm of curettage should not be underestimated.

2. Nowadays, more and more women are getting pregnant before marriage. They seek abortion to reverse the mistake of pregnancy and make up for the fear of pregnancy. The pain during traditional abortion makes many women still have concerns about pregnancy. However, painless curettage abortion not only makes some women less worried, but also if the curettage is shallow, bleeding may occur due to incomplete scraping, which may lead to a second curettage. If the scraping is too deep, it will inevitably cause trauma to the endometrium due to excessive scraping and damage the function of the uterus. A single curettage, especially multiple curettages, can lead to uterine cavity adhesion and cervical adhesion, which can cause infertility.

The endometrium is the implantation layer for the fertilized egg, like the natural soil for seeds to germinate and grow. The result of curettage is the destruction of this functional layer. Repeated curettage will cause the loss of the soft soil suitable for seeds to grow. Trying to get pregnant again will be like scattering seeds on a cement floor. Although infertility caused by curettage can be treated, the results are not satisfactory. The success rate of in vitro fertilization is less than 40% at best, and it is expensive. Moreover, even if the IVF is successful, it may still cause miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy due to endometrial lesions.
