- 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).
Article Abstract
Objective: To explore the correlation between induced abortion and reproductive tract infections (RTIs).
Methods: On the basis of keeping the representation of cities under study, 53 652 fertile women aged 15 - 49 were surveyed by using a stratified-cluster-random sampling. Investigation and gynecological examination were conducted by two steps - firstly converging at the clinics, and then visiting those households for someone who did not show up at the clinics.
Results: Among all the 32.0% (n=16 800) women ever having experienced the history of induced abortion, 21.1% (n = 11 090) of them had one, 7.6% (n=3976) women had two, and 4.1% (n=1734) women had at least three events. 59.0% (n=30 959) women among our studied samples had ever had RTI, with 30.9% (n=16 215) of them had only one 20.0% (n=10 494) women had two and 8.1% (n=4250) had three or more RTIs. Data from χ(2) text and ordinal regression analysis revealed that the rural married women who underwent more induced abortions were more likely to suffer from RTIs, especially cervical infection and PID.
Conclusion: Our study showed that the rates of induced abortion and reproductive tract infections among married women in Anhui province were both high. Women who underwent induced abortions had a higher prevalence rate of reproductive tract infections.

Background: Although abortion was completely decriminalized in Canada 36 years ago, barriers to pregnancy prevention and termination persist across the country, such as travel and information gaps. Research demonstrates incarcerated people face barriers to family planning care, yet there is no systematic data collection of sexual and reproductive health experiences and outcomes among incarcerated people in Canada. The aim of this study was to explore family planning care experiences among women and gender diverse people who have experienced incarceration in Canada.

Introduction: Abortion and euthanasia are still one of the greatest bioethical challenges. Previous studies have shown that there are differences in attitudes towards these issues depending on socio-demographic characteristics and socio-cultural environment (country of residence). As part of the scientific research project EuroBioMed, we compared the attitudes of students from three Mediterranean countries towards abortion and euthanasia and examined them from the perspective of Mediterranean bioethics.
