Around the world, abortion is a serious health problem in many countries. Every year, about 53 million pregnancies end with induced abortion.[1] Post-abortion complications may not be as dangerous to health, such as pain, stress, and infection, but can sometimes lead to such complex complications as atony and perforation of the uterus. For this reason, it is important for doctors to know the main complications after abortion and to carry out preventive measures to reduce abortions. In this article are given information of analysis of post-abortion complications which was conducted by authors. Post-abortion complications represent a spectrum of emergencies, from minor lacerations to life-threatening complications requiring immediate intervention. Unsafe abortions have a much higher complication rate. These include bleeding, uterine perforation, and endometritis. A supportive and unbiased history and physical examination are key to identifying complications of safe abortions, as well as problems that arise after unsafe abortions.
