Do surgical abortion can cause cervicitis?

Specializes in Pediatrics

Not exactly: Surgical abortion although safe, may have side effects among which are cervical tears. Infection usually occurs in the uterus because of retained fragments or contamination. See <http://www.Americanwomensservices.Com/faq/complications.Php>.
