Abortion/scarring

Expert: Shan Yi Sheng - 10/1/2010


Question
I had an abortion in '83 and then in '86.  The second one, the vacuum was left on too long and caused scarring.  Now I have sciatic problems.  I had a complete hysterectomy in '96 and was shown a 'half-moon' scar on my ovary.  My question is...What damage was done to the 'outside' of the uterus/ovary?  

Answer
Hi Cindy,
I think we will never know. Even me as an international well known specialist can't know what happened. The 1 you gave me for knowledge is an insult I will not easily forget. But perhaps that was what you meant it to be. I try to help people here for free, but impossible to answer questions, as yours,  I get seldom.
I think that is most probable that there was a perforation of the uterus was made during  the abortionproces.

Sciatic problems normally are not the complication of an abortion.
I am sorry not to be able to bring more light in this dark history
Some problems are never solved.
Try somebody else.
