Patient's question:
A year ago, I accidentally got pregnant and had an abortion. Even though we had intercourse, I didn't produce breast milk, but I haven't been able to get pregnant again. What should I do after having an abortion if I can't get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, if you haven't been pregnant, it might be due to the uterus suffering from psychological trauma after the procedure, which could lead to infection. Abortion can easily cause pelvic inflammatory disease, tubal blockage, cervical stenosis, uterine cavity adhesions, and endometriosis. Therefore, the uterus needs a certain amount of time to fully recover. It is recommended to undergo pre-pregnancy tests and an ultrasound to check the condition of the uterus before trying to conceive. If you haven't been able to get pregnant within a year of sexual intercourse and breastfeeding, it could be due to the lack of proper post-operative care, which may have led to tubal blockage and infertility. It is advised to visit a regular hospital for a tubal (hysterosalpingogram) procedure. Pay attention to abdominal protection in daily life, especially avoid overexertion and fatigue.
