Risks of Abortion
You deserve to have all the facts before making a final decision. Understanding the risks beforehand is the best way to safeguard your health.
Potential risks of medical abortion include:
- Incomplete abortion, which may require a follow-up surgical procedure
- Ongoing pregnancy if the medication is ineffective
- Heavy and prolonged bleeding
- Infection
- Fever
- Digestive system discomfort
Potential risks of surgical abortion include:
- Damage to the womb or cervix
- Uterine perforation (creating a hole in the uterus with surgical instruments)
- Excessive bleeding
- Infection in the uterus or fallopian tubes
- Scarring inside the uterus
- Reactions to anesthesia, such as breathing problems
- Incomplete removal of tissue, which may require additional procedures
Confirm Your Pregnancy
Before making a decision, it’s essential to confirm your pregnancy. A late period can result from stress, dietary changes, or exercise routines and doesn’t always mean you are pregnant.
At Pregnancy Care Centers, we offer no-cost services to verify your pregnancy with a pregnancy test and a limited ultrasound. A limited ultrasound can confirm if the pregnancy is in the uterus, determine how far along you are, and detect a heartbeat. This information is vital for your health and helps you make an informed decision about what’s best for your future.
