Patient's question:
My older cousin started dating a boyfriend and unexpectedly got pregnant. She had an abortion last month, and now they are getting divorced. She wants to have children. How soon can she get pregnant after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, in general, it is best to wait for at least one year before getting pregnant after an induced abortion. In case of special circumstances, it is still recommended to wait for at least a year before attempting to conceive again. This is because women who have undergone an induced abortion are often physically weaker and need some time to recover to normal. If pregnancy occurs too soon, it may lead to poor fetal development or even induce a spontaneous abortion due to insufficient physical strength and poor nutrition.
