Practitioner Directory - PurpleHealth



In the field of Psychology a new term PAS (Pot Abortion Syndrome) is slowly becoming a term attributed to post abortion after effects. While abortion issue is very politicized, and some may see PAS as a complete myth, some studies show that woman indeed can be deeply affected by the abortion.

While not in every woman the signs of post abortion aftermath are the same. These signs can range from mild grief to profound complication which may include Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

The post abortion aftermath can manifest it self by the following sings:

  • Low Self Esteem- Women who have gone through an abortion may develop low self esteem and may even believe that they deserve bad things happening to them.
  • Guilt- Although at the time of abortion woman can be assured that she is making the right decision, later in life she may be overwhelmed with guilt over he abortion.
  • Depression- Some women may feel depression after the abortion.
  • Grief- Many women find themselves grieving after an abortion
  • Nightmares- Many woman have reported seeing nightmares after an abortion.
  • Flashbacks- Flashbacks of the abortion procedure can be triggered by the noise vacuum cleaners that reminds them of the suction equipment, and even going to the hospital for other treatments may remind them of abortion.
  • Relationship Problems- approximately 70% of romantic relationships after abortion.
While the above short list does not exhaust all possible complication that a woman may face after the procedure, these signs should be treated as a serious signs of possible deeper problems. Woman should be allowed to express her feelings and go through the grief process. Even after minor procedure there is a designated time for recovery, except abortion which aftereffects can last for years.
