Some of the potential complications associated with abortion include:
Bleeding: A woman can experience bleeding after an abortion. Usually, the blood loss isn’t so extreme that it’s a medical problem. However, rarely, a woman may bleed so much that she requires a blood transfusion.
Incomplete abortion: When this happens, tissue or other products of conception may remain in the uterus, and an individual may need a D&C to remove the remaining tissue. The risk for this is more likely when a person takes medications for an abortion.
Infection: Doctors will usually give antibiotics before an abortion to prevent this risk.
Injury to surrounding organs: Sometimes, a doctor may accidentally injure nearby organs in an abortion. Examples include the uterus or bladder. The risk that this will occur increases the further along a woman is in a pregnancy.
