Determination of the frequency of complications of abortion

Abstract

The problems of abortion complications, both medical and ethical, remain relevant in modern society. We have conducted studies of 265 women who have undergone an induced abortion. Noted the presence of bleeding, inflammatory diseases, menstrual disorders in a small proportion of patients. The presence of risk factors for the development of complications during and after an abortion has been determined. Among such risk factors, repeated abortions, hypertension, obesity are noted. Analyzed the degree of anxiety, fear in women who have had an abortion, depending on religious beliefs, marital status. It was established that the degree of anxiety was the highest before the operation in unmarried women in comparison with married women After surgery, the rate dropped sharply. Unmarried women did not experience a significant decline. In patients who noted belonging to religious communities, the degree of anxiety after surgery tended to increase. The feeling of loneliness does not correlate with religiosity and marital status. For women in marriage, the range of indicators was significant. In some patients after the operation of artificial abortion, the degree of loneliness tended to increase. Prospectively we plan to assess the degree of anxiety and loneliness in the long-term period after an abortion.
