Patient's question:
My friend previously had an abortion because of parasites and didn't want to carry the pregnancy to term. It's been less than three months since she had the abortion, and she wants to get pregnant again. I think it's too soon, but I don't dare to tell her. How long should she wait after an abortion before she can get pregnant again?Doctor's answer:
The three to six months after an abortion are strictly prohibited for getting pregnant again. If pregnancy occurs quickly after an abortion, it may easily increase the risk of miscarriage. An abortion thins the endometrium by one layer. If it does not recover completely, even if pregnancy occurs again, it will have a significant impact on the body and the fetus. It is best to wait three months after a miscarriage before trying to conceive again. This is better for both the fetus and the mother, and it also gives the uterus a long time to recover.
