Abortion is considered a safe and low-risk procedure for most people when performed by a qualified healthcare provider in a reputable clinic. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications, though they are rare.

Some possible short-term risks and complications include infection, excessive bleeding, and injury to the uterus or other organs. These risks can typically be managed by following your healthcare provider’s aftercare instructions and attending follow-up appointments.

Long-term health risks associated with abortion are minimal. Studies have shown that there is no increased risk of infertility, breast cancer, or mental health issues following an abortion. However, it is crucial to discuss your personal health history and any potential risks with your healthcare provider before the procedure.
