The aim of this study was to address the phenomena in our city.Subjective and Methods: In this one year (2004) descriptive cross-sectional study, 85 females who referred to imam Khomainey and Razy AHWAZ University hospitals and have undergone ABORTION were the subjects of this study. The required data were collected by completing a questionnaire.Results: The most common age (29.4 %.) of ABORTION was 21-25 years old. The most common cause of ABORTION (37.64%) was accidental or spontaneous ABORTION. The most common criminal ABORTION (30.58 %) was due to UNWANTED PREGNANCIES and the common which was self inflected induction method was administration of drugs in 46.7 % of these cases. The common complication after ABORTION was hemorrhage which occurred 20% of cases. Among the studied population, 44.7% had intermediate economic status. The most common place for ABORTION was in hospital; however, 18% of ABORTIONs were carried out in private clinics and were not prosecuted. Forty seven percent of persons had strong religious beliefs.Conclusion: The results from this study demonstrated that the most common underlying cause of ABORTION was UNWANTED PREGNANCIES and the most implicated group was in the 21-25 years old. It seems that lack of knowledge among this group of mothers on contraception methods, dangers associated ABORTION and prosecutions that may follow criminal ABORTION are important aspects that need to be considered for reduction of this undesirable act.
