Patient's question:
My girlfriend and I had sexual relations. A few days ago, she didn't get her period and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, only to find out she was pregnant about 8-9 days ago. Is it harmful to the body to have an abortion right after getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Having an induced abortion is an invasive procedure, and it inevitably causes some disturbance to the body. It may even lead to secondary infertility, although the likelihood is relatively small. Therefore, if you do not want to have children for the time being, it is essential to take proper contraceptive measures to prevent accidental pregnancy. Since she has already undergone an abortion, it is important for her to rest well and receive appropriate nutritional care. The above advice can serve as a reference.
