Can I get pregnant after taking medication for an abortion?

Patient's question:

Two years ago, last year, because I was too young and didn't want a child so early, I got pregnant and had an abortion. I used medication for it. Now that I've reached the right age, I want to have a child, but I've heard that medication abortion can prevent pregnancy and stuff, and I'm very worried. So, I want to ask if it's possible to get pregnant after having a medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, it seems you have experienced a miscarriage once before. However, if you properly take care of your body after medication-induced abortion and avoid conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease or tubal inflammation, it generally will not affect your ability to conceive again. Don't hurry, first consult with your partner to undergo relevant pre-pregnancy tests. If everything is normal, then consider preparing for pregnancy. During the pre-pregnancy period, you should start taking small doses of folic acid to prevent neural tube defects in the baby.
