Abortion and its linkage with gynecological morbidity in India

Abortion has been legalized long before in India. Still it has been big issues as a considerable number of maternal deaths occur either due to the fact, that it is done illegally under unsafe procedures or direct/indirect effect of gynecological morbidity on women’s health. The study focuses on the association between abortion and gynecological morbidity in India. District level household and facility survey (2007-08) is used for the study. Bivariate and multivariate analyses are used.
The women who have experienced induced abortion are 2 times more likely to have gynecological morbidity as compare to live birth. Those women have spontaneous abortion are around 2 times more likely to have gynecological morbidity as compare to live birth. Encourage awareness programs on reproductive health issues mainly focusing on abortion and related health problems and gynecological morbidity can play an important role to reduce the severity of the problem in India.
