What is an Incomplete Abortion?
First, it is crucial to understand this health risk. An incomplete abortion occurs when some pregnancy tissue remains in the uterus after abortion.
Incomplete abortion is more likely to occur if a woman has an abortion in her second trimester (weeks 13 to 26 of pregnancy).
Now that you know the basics, it’s time to learn about the warning signs of an incomplete abortion.
Signs of an Incomplete Abortion
Common signs of an incomplete abortion include:
- Heavy or irregular vaginal bleeding
- Fever
- Pelvic pain
- Infection
- Missed menstrual period
- Enlarged, tender uterus
It is critical to seek immediate medical care after detecting any of these warning signs. Without proper treatment, complications can occur, including:
- Anemia (due to blood loss)
- Infection (which can cause reproductive organ damage or sepsis)
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Asherman’s syndrome (uterine scarring)
