Patient's question:
Online, I learned that two months into pregnancy is when a person undergoes an abortion. I was already two months pregnant in January 2004, and I had an abortion. Before the surgery, I didn’t take any medication—only one pill was placed in my rectum. After the surgery, I didn’t consult a doctor or take any medication. It wasn’t until 2-3 days later that I started bleeding, and the amount of blood was more than my usual menstruation. The bleeding was heavy at first and might have stopped after 4-5 days. Around 20 days later, I started bleeding again, and after that, my periods followed this cycle.After that, I didn’t get any check-ups.
I’d like to ask if this could affect my fertility in the future?

Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, you did not have vaginal intercourse. There might be a small amount of prostatic fluid, which generally contains a very small amount of sperm. In most cases, it is unlikely to result in pregnancy.It is recommended not to worry too much, as the possibility of pregnancy is very low. Generally, there is no need to take birth control pills. However, if you do not have any fertility plans in the near future, it is best to take safer contraceptive measures.
After an abortion, you can eat most foods except for spicy, acidic, cold, or other irritating foods. It is especially important to consume foods that replenish protein and iron. Rice is also fine, and you should eat enough to regain your strength. Focus on eating more meat, jujubes, eggs, brown sugar, etc.
