How many times does a woman usually have an abortion that can interfere with her fertility?

Patient's question:

Last year, I had an induced abortion which led to pelvic inflammatory disease. Hello, will an induced abortion interfere with fertility? How many times does a woman usually need to have an induced abortion to affect her fertility?

Doctor's answer:

Abortion can affect future fertility, and the extent of the interference is related to individual constitution and the surgical process. It is recommended to use antibiotics appropriately after surgery to promote recovery. This situation will not cause significant interference in future pregnancy.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to inflammation of the female pelvic reproductive organs, the connective tissues around the uterus, and the pelvic peritoneum. If not treated promptly, acute PID may develop into chronic PID, which has a long duration of onset and is more stubborn.
Based on your description, if the inflammation has subsided, it will not affect your future ability to give birth to a child. If the inflammation has not improved, it is recommended to use cephalosporin antibiotics for active intravenous treatment and close observation.
