Patient's question:
When your sister-in-law was five months pregnant, she was involved in a car accident and hit her abdomen. The doctor recommended an abortion. Now, a year after the abortion, your sister-in-law has fully recovered. After the procedure, she wants to get pregnant again. What should she pay attention to? Can she start preparing for pregnancy a year after the abortion?Doctor's answer:
Preparing to conceive again after an abortion requires an interval of more than one year to ensure normal recovery. Theoretically, this is to prevent the uterus from failing to fully recover and to reduce the risk of a subsequent miscarriage. From a clinical perspective, the pre-pregnancy period involves careful examinations such as a uterine ultrasound to assess the full recovery of the uterus, as well as evaluations of fallopian tube and ovarian function during menopause. As long as these tests are normal, there should be no significant issues.
