Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) Abortion Innovations

Every abortion procedure (including medical abortion) exposes the risk of bacterial transmission from outside the woman's body or from the vagina to the woman's cervix. STD testing and treatment is very important before abortion because Chlamydia, the most common STD in the US, is rarely symptomatic. Two high-quality studies have shown that 70-95% of women and 90% of men who have Chlamydia are unaware that they have it. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can cause great harm to pregnant women and their babies. STD can cause maternal cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, and infertility; The dangers of pregnancy include premature labor, premature delivery of membranes and uterine infections. STDs can spread to the baby in the womb and during labor. Fetal infectivity can cause low birth weight, conjunctivitis, blindness, pneumonia, sepsis, neurological damage, fetal death, or stillbirth.
