Is Abortion Safe for Women?
These days many professional and career oriented women are delaying motherhood. They do not want to take on the responsibility of a child as they would like to settle well in their career. Is Abortion Safe? Well, a very difficult question as it depends. Earlier women were very happy as housewives and preferred to have their children as quickly as possible as they want to be mothers. Now things have changed. Also on account of pre-martial sex at an early age, many young women are getting pregnant and prefer to get aborted.
The question that arises is that whether it is good to get aborted? Abortion maybe the easy way out, but naturally it does affect the health of the mother. In fact, it is often said that it is better not to abort the first pregnancy.
How does abortion affect the health of the mother?
- The cervix gets damaged. It causes weakening of the cervix. It sometimes becomes difficult to carry the weight of another pregnancy.
- Second infertility may develop. It is very possible that one may remain permanently childless but in rare cases.
- Women who have abortion at times suffer from depression.
- Those who abort are at a higher risk of death as compared to those who do have a child.
- Mental health treatment maybe required for those who are aborting rather than those who have a child. Abortion is linked up with mental disorders such as bi-polar, neurotic depression, schizophrenia as well as adjustment reactions.
- Abortion can result in cancer of one’s reproductive system as well as one can suffer from rectal cancer.
- Women can suffer from genital tract infection which can be in the form of pelvic inflammatory disease.
- It can cause a miscarriage.
- Abortions are caused due to uterine perforations as well as placenta pelvis. These have much negative impact on the newborn.
- Incomplete abortion could mean that some parts may end up remaining in the uterus. This can cause serious complications.
- A woman often experiences depression, guilt as well as anxiety after abortions.
- Some also want to commit suicide after an abortion.
- Permanent scars can be left along the uterus lining.
- Some internal organs surrounding the organs may get damaged.
Abortion may be help in woman’s choice of not having a child, but it does affect her health in many ways. One must think twice before going in for an abortion.
