Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am currently pregnant, but I don't want this child. I am 32 years old and not married. When I went for a check-up yesterday, I found out I have uterine fibroids. I would like to ask, if I have an abortion this time, will it affect my ability to conceive in the future?Doctor's answer:
Generally, doing an induced abortion occasionally has little impact on future fertility, but the more times it is done, the higher the risk of infertility. Multiple induced abortions can lead to a decline in the natural protective function of the reproductive tract, especially if postoperative bleeding persists for an extended period, which facilitates the penetration and adaptation of bacteria. Alternatively, neglecting hygiene and engaging in sexual activity too soon after surgery can lead to pelvic infection or tubal abscess, potentially causing secondary infertility or permanent infertility. There are many treatment methods for uterine fibroids, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the treatment approaches also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
