A member asked:
My girlfriend is 3 weeks pregnant and wants termination. what potential health risks does termination possess for her?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abortion: Abortion, when done by a skilled provider and in a safe medical setting, is extremely safe. Carrying a pregnancy to term poses much more significant risk of death for a woman than a termination. There are risks, although they are rare. Those are things like infection, heavy bleeding, damage to the uterus or cervix, and very rarely further surgery or hysterectomy.
