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 abortion, she wants to get pregnant again. What should she pay attention to? Can she prepare 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, during the preconception period, it is important to undergo thorough examinations, including an ultrasound of the uterus to assess its recovery status, as well as evaluations of the function of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. As long as these tests are normal, there should be no significant issues.
