Patient's question:
I had an abortion two years ago without anesthesia and now feel that my body is much worse. I wonder if natural abortion is more harmful?Doctor's answer:
Natural miscarriage can still cause certain harm to the body. Most natural miscarriages are related to chromosomal defects in the embryo, and the interference with human health is relatively small. However, whether natural miscarriage or induced abortion is more harmful depends on the specific situation. Generally, if a formal abortion clinic is chosen, the harm is relatively small. After an induced abortion, women need to adjust their mentality and give themselves more time to recover to avoid falling ill for a week or two. Engaging in appropriate activities after the procedure can also reduce the risk of infection. For those who have experienced a natural miscarriage and may have another one, it is important to pay attention to hygiene and prevent infections. Additionally, it is recommended that both partners undergo genetic testing before the next pregnancy.
