Uterine Gangrene and Mechanical Intestinal Obstruction in a Teenager Following Unsafe Abortion
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2019, Vol 13, Issue 6
Abstract
ABSTRACT Unsafe abortion often leads to complications since it is carried out by untrained persons in an unsafe environment. The most common complications are anaemia, bowel injury, bladder injury, uterine perforation, and sepsis. Here, authors present a very unfortunate case of 18-year-old single nulliparous secondary school student who had self-induced abortion at 24 weeks gestational age with unusual complication of complete uterine gangrene and mechanical intestinal obstruction. Her recovery was prolonged but was managed successfully.
