A member asked:
Is uti common after an abortion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
UTI: Statistics on this subject are difficult to come by, but UTI may occur in association with abortion if the procedure employed produces any transient trauma to the urethra. This form of physiologic "obstruction" to urine outflow has been shown to predispose to secondary uti.
