Types of Abortion and its Consequences- A Study of 100 Cases in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital

Abstract

In this study attempts made to show the types of abortion and their consequences admitted in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH) in the year 2019. For this study 100 patients of abortion were selected on a random pattern. Special importance has been given on finding out the incidence and prevalence of abortion with respect to their age, socio­ economic status, and parity. Then attempts have been made to find out aetiology. Some suggestions have been given as to what could be done to reduce the incidence of abortion. Some reflection of the effect of abortion on mortality has also been highlighted. The mode of management of abortion patients in MMCH has also been analysed with their outcome. In this study it has been seen that around 47.8% of gynaeclogy patient are of abortion. Though majority is of spontaneous abortion, septic abortion patients are the most critical ones. The majority of cross section of patients is illiterate and very poor. These are the patients who come to the hospital after complications have taken place. All these can be saved by improving socio economic condition, education, finally planning and modernization of existing laws of the land relating to abortion.
