Does medication abortion affect having children?

Patient's question:

A few weeks ago, I got pregnant. Because I had a severe cold those days, I had to receive intravenous drips and take medicine. I was worried it might be harmful to the child, so I had to make the tough decision to have a medication abortion. Now, I want to consult about how long I need to wait before I can have another child. If anyone knows, please help me out with a reply. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

After taking medication for abortion, it is generally recommended that most people wait at least one year before considering pregnancy to avoid the residual effects of the medication from affecting the next pregnancy. During pregnancy, the immune system is relatively weakened, making it easy to catch colds. Therefore, during this period, you need to pay attention to rest, enhance exercise, and lower your own resistance. You can start taking folic acid tablets three months before pregnancy. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened resistance.
