الملخص

Background: Illegal induced abortion is a serious public health issue that poses significant risks to women's physical and emotional well-being.


Objective: This case report aimed to present a case of uterine perforation and bowel prolapse following an unsafe induced abortion.


Case Presentation: a case of 35 years old primigravida married-patient who had illegally induced abortion and referred to our hospital with a bowel prolapse through the vagina. Bowel resection with end-to-end anastomosis was performed. Due to the severity of uterine damage, a total hysterectomy was performed


Conclusion: Promoting reproductive health education and improving access to contraception in countries with restrictive abortion laws are crucial in preventing unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortions.
