The main influencing factors of induced abortion of these perimenopausal women included believing no need of contraception during menopause, could not be pregnancy after sexual intercourse once in a while, contraceptive methods used improperly, long-term contraception used without followed up on time, and low efficient of contraceptive methods used.
