Side Effects of Surgical Abortion Posted: 03-08-06 13:05pm
I was raped about 4 years ago. I was told
that I would not have children, now I am 4
weeks pregnant. Can you help me understand
how I this was possible and the side
effects of surgical abortion at 7 weeks.
Thank you for your time.
When consulting a medical professional you
will need to include some more background
information on your medical history: For
example, why were you told that you
weren't able to have children?. If you
are, indeed, pregnant now (positive
pregnancy test)... the possible side
effects/risks of any surgical abortion are
uterus infection and sterility. It
doesn’t mean that these side effects
will surely happen; the possibility exists
because after an abortion the uterus is
very vulnerable to infections.
