Does an induced abortion affect the ability to have children?

Patient's question:

Previously, I carefully checked and found that it was an accidental pregnancy, and it has been a month. We are not ready to have a child yet, and we want to terminate this pregnancy. It is said that an abortion can be done, but I am very worried about its impact on future fertility. Does an abortion affect future childbirth?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, after undergoing an abortion, it is still necessary to take appropriate additional rest to avoid the occurrence of pelvic infectious inflammation. If everything recovers well, it will basically have no significant impact on future pregnancies. However, it is also necessary to have regular physical check-ups after an abortion. It is recommended to strictly prohibit sexual activity for one month after the surgery to monitor vaginal bleeding.
