Patient's question:
My girlfriend had an abortion three months ago. She says her menstrual flow is more than before and it starts several days earlier. She used to have no menstrual cramps, but now she has severe cramps. It's obviously menstrual irregularity. She is worried that it will affect her fertility. Does an abortion cause menstrual irregularity and affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
The harm of induced abortion to the body is relatively significant, as it is a surgical procedure that forcibly alters the endometrium. During this process, there may be changes to the endometrium. If menstrual irregularities occur again after an induced abortion, it is necessary to check the thickness of the endometrium to see if it is normal. Gynecological diseases are a common gynecological condition. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery!
