If you’ve recently had an abortion and are worried that you are suffering complications due to an incomplete abortion it’s important to know all the facts in order to protect your health and safety.
Risks of an incomplete abortion include:
- Hemorrhaging.
- Pain in the abdominal or pelvic regions.
- Fever.
- Hypotension (low blood pressure).
What is an Incomplete Abortion?
The condition known as incomplete abortion occurs when not all of the pregnancy tissues are removed from your uterus during an abortion. The presence of these tissues can cause your body to develop an infection, go into shock, as well as other serious health reactions.
An incomplete abortion can develop after either a medical or surgical abortion and is a serious health condition that requires immediate medical intervention to keep you from harm.
When Should I Seek Help?
If you think you are suffering from any type of abortion complication it’s important to contact your doctor right away. If your doctor is not available then you should seek immediate help at a hospital emergency room.
Specific symptoms that can be indicators of abortion complications are:
- Saturating over 1 pad every hour and passing several blood clots.
- Pelvic and/or abdominal pain.
- Cramping (can be recurring and like labor pains).
- Hypotension (low blood pressure).
- Feeling faint, dizzy, or light-headed.
- High pulse rate (over 100 beats per minute while resting).
