Among the unmarried women who requested abortion, 57.1% suffered from reproductive tract infections; 1/3 of the first sexual intercourse occurred before the age of 19, of which 8.9% occurred during secondary school, and the youngest age of first sexual intercourse was only 13; the maximum number of sexual partners reached 16, but only 1.2% of the 9 very simple questions on sexual health knowledge were answered correctly… …This sobering set of data comes from a sexual and reproductive health survey conducted by the Maternal and Child Health Center of Peking University and the World Health Organization, targeting more than 2,000 unmarried women who requested abortions in 10 hospitals in Beijing, Zhengzhou, Nanning and Shenzhen.
In this age of easy access to information, if you go to say that a person is sexually ignorant, you will certainly be ridiculed. But if you think about what these numbers represent and what they mean, I’m afraid no one can laugh.
An obstetrician and gynecologist said: “A young woman gave birth in a small clinic, the placenta was stuck in the uterus and could not come down. However, she could never have a child of her own again. At the root, the culprit of this high-risk delivery is too frequent and unregulated abortions.”
Another gynecologist said, “I once examined a 16-year-old high school girl. The girl, who looked fashionable, had both mycotic and trichomoniasis vaginitis, cervicitis, and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. I asked her about her sexual history and hygiene habits, and this angelic-looking girl replied that she had had two miscarriages, had sex during her period, washed her vulva occasionally, and had no contraception! What made my heart ache was not only her body, but also her tone of full of care.”
Due to the deficiencies of Chinese sex education, and social mores, many women’s knowledge of sex is specious. One educator exclaims that it would be a disgrace to civilized society if teenagers were left to fumble, try wrong, and learn distorted sexual knowledge from pornographic commodities on their own! Surveys show that 21% of female college students get their sexual knowledge from their friends around them, and if their friends’ knowledge is wrong, it is likely to be misleading by blackmail.
During the interview at the hospital, within just a few minutes, the reporter saw several women who came to the gynecologist’s consultation room. They are all around 20 years old, and can read pregnancy tests and other laboratory tests, menstruation, contraception can also be said to be a good, apparently not low literacy, but they have a common dilemma.
How many abortions can a woman withstand in her life?
On November 25, 2006, a school in Mianyang City, Sichuan 19-year-old girl Xiaoshui (a pseudonym) alone to Mianyang City High Water Hospital to do abortion clamp surgery, the next day the condition was aggravated by the school sent to Mianyang City 404 Hospital rescue and died. In the rescue process, 404 hospital doctors found that the deceased’s uterus has been perforated, small intestine also has a fracture.
Why did the good female student suddenly die? Mianyang 404 hospital doctors explain the cause of death is due to “hemorrhagic shock”, “viral shock”, “uterine perforation”, “small intestine fracture ” and “necrosis of the appendix”. Subsequently, the doctor took down the specimen of the necrotic small intestine during surgery to show the family, only to see that the cut small intestine has been all discolored.
The doctor said that Xiaoshui was sent to 404 Hospital by the school at around 8:30 am on November 26. At that time, the doctor consulted with Xiaoshui’s condition, she has refused to say half a word. Finally, under the doctor’s pressure, she said she had an abortion the day before, and urged the doctor to keep her secret.
After Xiaoshui’s death, her family sorted through her belongings and found a bill from her pocket named “Li Yan” for the abortion. Xiao Shui’s mother said that her daughter was in school and they knew nothing about her having a boyfriend.
In the abortion clinic record of “Li Yan”, the doctor noted the implementation of the operation when the patient “nausea, vomiting, lower abdominal pain, immediately stop the operation” and other circumstances. The doctor immediately asked the patient to stay in the hospital for observation, but at 4:45 p.m., “the patient refused to stay, asked to go home, and left the hospital alone on the pretext of going to the bathroom while the medical staff was not paying attention”.
Although the family of the deceased still has doubts about the authenticity of this record, but after all, the young body of Xiaoshui has been cold, more tears and hue and cry, can not call back the delicate life of the flower.
An obstetrician and gynecologist said: “A woman’s body is like a piece of land, and irregular and repeated abortions are like wanton and unlimited tilling of the soil and cultivation. After a while, even the most fertile land becomes barren.”
And another obstetrician and gynecologist said, “During the procedure, I sometimes hit the young girls who are full of care a little harder. I will give them some lessons without hurting them and completing the operation successfully. Because there is a lesson to be learned from pain.”
Yes, the lesson is to know how to protect yourself and not to let your body suffer again and again. Don’t wait until the worst has happened to beat your chest with regret.
Some data you may not know
In 2006, Shanghai Oriental TV released data in a program showing that 5%-10% of boys and 3%-8% of girls under the age of 19 in China have had sexual experiences. Meanwhile, a survey by the Beijing Women’s Federation showed that 8% of the 13-19 year old girls surveyed had had sexual experiences and 3% had been pregnant.
The low age of pregnancy has become a phenomenon that cannot be ignored. Another phenomenon that cannot be ignored is the increase in the rate of recurrent abortions among women.
In this regard, married professional women are not necessarily more knowledgeable than unmarried teenage girls. A statistic in Shanghai shows that 54% of married women do not take any contraceptive measures despite the fact that the rate of recurrent abortions is 44.1% for more than two times. Of the women whose contraception failed and led to abortion, 77% of working women did not use contraception because they were lucky.
Some questions about abortion
1.Is painless abortion really painless? The so-called “painless abortion” is actually not completely painless, but the procedure is performed under general anesthesia. In essence, painless abortion is no different from other abortion methods in terms of the harm it causes to the body. As long as abortion, including medical abortion or painless abortion, even if you use the most advanced methods and find the most reliable hospitals and doctors, it will cause damage to your body.
2. Is a medical abortion really just equivalent to an awesome period? Although it is true that medical abortion is easier and less painful than going to the operating table, it is no less harmful to your body than abortion. If the medical abortion is not complete, the embryo in the uterus can not be removed clean, and finally have to do scraping surgery, but also may cause intrauterine infection, damage to the uterine lining, resulting in tubal occlusion, and ultimately cause infertility.
3. Will repeated abortions lead to lifelong infertility? Repeated scraping of the uterine lining during abortion will cause the uterine wall to become thinner and the lining to become less and less, which will not only cause bleeding, adhesions, reproductive tract and uterine cavity infections, uterine perforation, menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, abdominal pain and other complications, but also pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis and even infertility. And the more abortions there are, the greater the danger. In the case of underage girls, it is more likely to lead to sequelae. What’s more frightening is that repeated abortions will make it less likely for women to have children in the future, make it difficult to get pregnant, and even if they are pregnant, they will easily miscarry.
4. Is the first-born baby the best? Yes, the baby born in the first pregnancy is of the highest quality.
Things you should definitely pay attention to
1.Take help from relevant institutions. At present, there are teenage unwanted pregnancy help centers in Shanghai, Tianjin, Chengdu, Chongqing, Changchun, Hefei and other places in China, if you need help, you can call the local 114 to check the help line of these institutions.
2. Insist on contraception. Whether surgical abortion or medical abortion, it is only a remedy for contraceptive failure and should never be used as a contraceptive method. Therefore, first, insist on contraception; second, choose a reliable contraceptive method that suits you.
3, to prevent high-risk abortions. Having more than two abortions within six months or having an abortion under the age of 18 are high-risk abortions. The morbidity and mortality rate of high-risk abortion are high, so if you don’t want to risk your life, please do a good job of contraception to reduce the rate of repeated abortions.
4. Receive regular surgery. You must go to a regular hospital to receive the operation, do not buy your own abortion to save money or to cover up, and do not go to an unlicensed clinic to have an abortion.
5, post-operative recuperation. After the abortion, bed rest for two weeks. Don’t do heavy work, and don’t drink cold drinks, pay attention to warmth, don’t blow, and strictly prevent colds. Eat more nutritious chicken, eggs and milk and soybean products, avoid eating chili peppers, alcohol is strictly prohibited.
