Risks come with both medical and surgical abortion. Some risks that occur after taking the abortion pill (medical abortion) include the following:
- Heavy and prolonged bleeding
- Infection
- Digestive system discomfort
- Incomplete abortion, which may need to be followed by surgical abortion
- An ongoing unwanted pregnancy if the procedure doesn’t work
Though there are multiple types of surgical abortion procedures, they share similar physical risks, including:
- Perforation of the uterus (when a surgical instrument pokes a hole in the uterus)
- Damage to the cervix
- Scar tissue on the uterine wall
- Infection
- Excessive bleeding
