    Previous pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and dysmenorrhea significantly increase post-abortion pain. Spontaneous abortions correlate with more bleeding days. Gestational age and intrauterine device (IUD) insertion also impact recovery symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Reproductive Health
    • Clinical Trials

    Background:

    • Understanding post-abortion recovery is crucial for women's health.
    • Identifying risk factors for prolonged symptoms can improve patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate correlations between patient characteristics and post-abortion recovery symptoms.
    • To identify specific risk factors influencing pain, bleeding, fever, and absence from work after first-trimester abortion.

    Main Methods:

    • A randomized controlled trial involving 238 women undergoing first-trimester abortion.
    • Statistical analysis using ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests (p < 0.05) to assess correlations.
    • Evaluated variables included age, parity, abortion history, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), gestational age, pain conditions, social status, and intrauterine device (IUD) insertion.

    Main Results:

    • Previous pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and dysmenorrhea were significantly associated with increased post-abortion pain.
    • One or more previous spontaneous abortions correlated with more days of post-abortion bleeding.
    • Higher gestational age (11-12 weeks) was linked to more days with fever.
    • Intrauterine device (IUD) insertion at abortion increased days of pain and bleeding.
    • History of PID was the primary risk factor for severe post-abortion complaints.

    Conclusions:

    • Specific pre-existing conditions and procedural factors significantly influence post-abortion recovery.
    • Women with a history of PID face a higher risk of severe post-abortion complications.
    • Targeted monitoring and care for high-risk individuals may be warranted.
