How long after an abortion can you get pregnant again?

Patient's question:

I got married to my husband when we were both 36 years old, which is considered late marriage, so we decided to have a child right after getting married. However, when I was about ten weeks pregnant, it was discovered that the baby might have a major birth defect, so I underwent an abortion procedure. How long should I wait before trying to get pregnant again?

Doctor's answer:

After an abortion surgery, it is recommended to wait more than a year before getting pregnant again, as the surgery can cause significant damage to the uterus. If proper care is not taken, it may lead to uterine infections. It is important to rest actively, enhance nutrition, and avoid staying up late. This can help prevent anemia. Additionally, focus on eating fresh vegetables and fruits, maintain good hygiene, and clean the external genital area.
