safe medical abortion
Surgical abortion can damage the uterus, but in medical settings, this is rare.
Estimates from older research suggest that 0.1–3 of every 1,000 abortions result in a uterine perforation. It is more common during unsafe or illegal abortions.
Other factors that increase the risk of perforation include:
- older age
- multiple or twin pregnancy
- some uterus shapes or positions
- uterine growths, such as fibroids
- previous surgeries, such as cesarean delivery
- infections
- surgeons’ lack of experience
- a lack of cervical dilation before the procedure
