Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 22 years old. She has had two previous induced abortions. She accidentally became pregnant again... She is 75 days pregnant now and does not want to continue.Regarding the likelihood of infertility after an induced abortion: The first time was a medication abortion, and she received good care, with no issues. The second time was an outpatient abortion under anesthesia. Due to poor post-procedure care, her menstrual cycle became irregular. However, she was treated at the hospital, and it is now normal.
Now, she is considering a third induced abortion and is seeking advice on the following: "What is more harmful to the uterus between medication and surgical abortion?" She still wants to have children...
Doctor's answer:
Miscarriage definitely causes harm to the body, and the harm increases with each occurrence. Additionally, whether it can lead to infertility varies from person to person. If you don't have any special circumstances right now, it's still recommended to protect the pregnancy. Medication-induced abortion can only be performed within 49 days of conception. If it's a bit later, an (painless induced abortion) would be necessary. However, if the medication-induced abortion isn't complete, a (dilation and curettage) may still be required. I suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up and then decide on the method of miscarriage.
