Patient's question:
I have been married to my husband for over 2 years. During this time, I got pregnant twice, but both times I had a miscarriage for unknown reasons. Now I'm very anxious because I'm pregnant again. I want to consult a doctor. Can I have a child now? If I do, will the child be okay?Doctor's answer:
Abortion procedures commonly use scraping or mechanical suction to remove the embryo, which can cause significant damage to the endometrium. Pregnancy begins with the implantation of a fertilized egg into the endometrium. If the procedure thins the endometrium or causes recurrent inflammation, the consequences can be severe. My friend, who works in maternal and child health, often sees cases where repeated abortions lead to cervical failure to dilate during labor, resulting in a cesarean section. Subsequently, it was discovered that there was extensive adhesion between the placenta and the uterus, requiring a detachment procedure.
