[Postabortion complications and recovery of ovarian function in nulliparous women].

Induced abortions performed in 481 cases of nulliparous women were carefully investigated. The incidence of complications during operation was 2.1%, of which the majority was the induced abortion syndrome. The early postabortal complication rate was 6.4% and the majority was mild pelvic inflammatory disease. The late complication rate was 10.2% and manifested mainly by menstrual disturbance. Ovulation occurred in 67.4% of the first postabortal cycles. It is suggested that the induced abortion is not a safe procedure for nulliparous women.
