Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Is it good for the uterus to have an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Multiple miscarriages can be quite harmful. They can damage the endometrium, leading to conditions such as placenta previa or placenta accreta in future pregnancies, which may cause severe postpartum bleeding, endocrine disorders, irregular menstruation, or even amenorrhea. Post-abortion infections are common, such as pelvic inflammatory disease or tubal inflammation, which can result in infertility. It can also cause blood clots, habitual abortion, endometriosis, uterine perforation, and other issues. However, it is not absolute. If the surgical procedure is performed properly, with thorough anti-infection measures, and if the uterus and ovaries recover well post-surgery, and if follow-up check-ups are conducted regularly as advised by the doctor, it generally will not affect future fertility. If you do not plan to become pregnant, it is recommended to take safe and effective contraceptive measures during sexual activity.
