How long after childbirth can one get pregnant?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. How long after an abortion can I get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

All types of induced abortion require aspiration or curettage to completely remove the embryonic tissue from the uterine cavity. During the procedure, the endometrium may be damaged to varying degrees, and a recovery period is needed after the surgery. If pregnancy occurs too soon after the procedure, when the endometrium has not fully healed, it can be difficult to maintain implantation and development of the fertilized egg, leading to an increased risk of miscarriage. In fact, under normal circumstances, any method of induced abortion can cause some degree of harm to the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. For example, patients undergoing induced abortion should pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
