Safe abortion: A retrospective study of negative pressure suction in abortion under the monitoring of ultrasound

Abstract

Safe abortion is an important aspect of reproductive health, and unsafe abortion remains a growing female problem, a public health problem, and one of the leading causes of maternal mortality in many developing countries. 1,2 Worldwide, 25% of pregnancies end in abortion and more than 50 million abortions are performed annually. 3 The consequences of unsafe abortion include not only physical but also psychological problems. 4 Internationally, safe abortion and high-quality periabortion management can curb maternal deaths, [5][6][7][8] with stricter periabortion period management employed for women with repeat abortions. 9
