Retained placenta after medical abortion causes persistent bleeding, leading to infection and anemia. This phenomenon needs to be treated early to avoid dangerous complications such as pelvic infection and sepsis.

The older the fetus, the more dangerous abortion will be for the mother's health. Abortion in the second trimester such as abortion at 15 weeks or abortion at 22 weeks will be much more dangerous than abortion in the early stages of pregnancy. To safely abort a fetus from 13-22 weeks, choosing a medical facility with adequate facilities and a doctor with expertise and high skills is extremely important.
