Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I got pregnant. Because I had a severe cold those days and had to receive intravenous fluids and medication, I was worried it might harm the child. So, I had to make the tough decision to have a medication abortion. Now, I want to consult about how long after medication abortion can I have another child? If anyone knows, please help me reply. Thank youDoctor'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 weak, making it easy to catch colds. Therefore, during this period, you need to pay attention to rest, increase 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 immunity.
