Patient's question:
I have had a few abortions, and this year, late May is my third time. The first two were in the past two years. Now I am three months pregnant again. If I choose to keep this child, what impact would this have on my health and the child's future health? How can I protect myself and the child? Please reply as soon as possible! Thank you!First follow-up question: I have thought about it and I have decided, but we have always had sex, almost every day, and now he suddenly says he doesn’t want to. He is in a difficult situation, a married man. I don’t know what to do. I’m almost crazy, just sitting around blankly for a month, not talking to anyone except him.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Generally speaking, it is best to wait for at least one year after an induced abortion before getting pregnant again. In case of special circumstances, you should wait for at least six months. This is because all types of induced abortions involve procedures such as aspiration or scraping to remove the embryonic tissue from the uterine cavity. During the surgery, the endometrium may suffer varying degrees of damage and requires a recovery period. If pregnancy occurs too soon after the procedure, the endometrium has not yet fully healed, making it difficult to maintain the implantation and development of the fertilized egg, which can easily lead to another miscarriage. Additionally, women who have undergone induced abortion are often physically weak and need time to recover. If they get pregnant too early, they may suffer from insufficient physical strength and poor nutrition, which can result in poor fetal development or spontaneous miscarriage.
