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 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 and tubal inflammation, it generally will not affect your ability to conceive again. Don't hurry, first do the relevant pre-pregnancy tests with your partner. If everything is normal, then consider trying to conceive. During the pre-pregnancy period, you should start taking low-dose folic acid to prevent neural tube defects in the baby.
