Patient's question:
I am 23 years old, 17 years old, and had a medication-induced abortion at 19 years old, which I performed at home. I did not visit the hospital for a check-up afterward. At 22, I had a Pap smear test, which was normal. My menstrual cycle is currently normal. Will there be any long-term effects? Will it cause infertility?First follow-up question: (2007-2-11 17:30:09) I am very thin and have always struggled to gain weight. Could this be the cause? How many times is considered "multiple" abortions? What is the risk of developing habitual abortion after two medication-induced abortions?
Second follow-up question: (2007-2-16 09:30:09) What is uterine infection, and what are its symptoms and consequences? My menstrual cycle is currently normal.
Doctor's answer:
You can have a tubal patency test 3-7 days after your menstrual period is clean. If it's normal, it means that the medication abortion did not cause any sequelae and does not affect pregnancy. It is recommended to have sexual intercourse 2-3 days before ovulation or within 24 hours after ovulation, maintain a pleasant mood and a normal mindset, which can increase the chances of conception. There are many triggers that can cause endocrine disorders and infertility. Patients need to be treated promptly. It is recommended to seek treatment at a Class III-A hospital. Pay attention to the development of the condition and avoid indiscriminate treatment. Additionally, it is essential to develop good lifestyle habits and maintain personal hygiene. Best wishes for your recovery!
