Before getting any type of
abortion, you should be tested for STDs. Many women with STDs are asymptomatic and don’t realize they’re infected. But women who undergo an abortion with an untreated
STD are up to 25% more likely to develop Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (
PID) following the
abortion procedure.
PID can lead to serious health issues including infertility, ectopic pregnancy, abscess formation and chronic pelvic pain. Lakes Life Care Center offers women free
STD
testing and treatment. Call 651.464.4340 or schedule an appointment for STD testing today.
