Patient's question:
I was already four months pregnant when I went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up. The doctor said that the baby also had congenital diseases and could not be born, so I had an abortion. It has been more than three months since the abortion. I want to get pregnant. How long after a miscarriage can one get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello:Abortion is equivalent to miscarriage, leading to a decline in immunity, damage to the endometrium, and a need for recovery time. Engaging in sexual activity too soon can easily result in recurrent miscarriages. It is recommended to wait at least one year before attempting to conceive. During this period, effective contraception measures should be taken, preferably using condoms, as they are both safe and have no side effects, ensuring they do not interfere with future normal pregnancy. If you plan to get pregnant, it is advisable to undergo pre-pregnancy counseling. Taking folic acid orally for the first three months of pregnancy can help prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. Wishing you good health!
