Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the link between induced abortion and the occurrence of reproductive tract infections (RTIs) among women aged 15-49 in Anhui province.
- A total of 53,652 women were surveyed, revealing that 32% had previously experienced an induced abortion and 59% had suffered from RTIs, with higher rates in those who underwent multiple abortions.
- Results indicated that married women in rural areas who had more induced abortions were more likely to have RTIs, particularly cervical infections and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
