Uterine inversion complicating traditional termination of pregnancy: case report

Abstract

Abortion services remain cladenstine and unsafe in most parts of Africa. This is a case of a mid-trimester abortion induced by traditional methods which resulted in uterine inversion, a previously unreported complication of induced abortion. Until abortion services are accessible and safe on the continent, morbidity and mortality from it could be beyond imagination. Keywords: Uterine Inversion; Abortion by traditional methods
