Patient's question:
I had two medical abortions five years ago. I didn't have an ultrasound afterward, but over the past five years, my menstruation has been very normal. Is it still possible that the medical abortion wasn't completely effective? Will two medical abortions cause infertility?Doctor's answer:
Medication abortion may potentially cause infertility, but it doesn't necessarily lead to infertility. Medication abortion causes significant harm to a woman's body. It primarily works by affecting the endocrine system to force the uterine lining to shed. When the uterine lining is damaged, the endocrine balance can become disrupted, which may lead to future habitual miscarriages or infertility. Medication abortion is generally not recommended.
