Does masturbation after intercourse affect fertility?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Does masturbation after an abortion affect fertility?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering it has no impact. If the doctor's technique is good and postoperative anti-inflammatory measures are in place, the body generally recovers well, and there is usually no significant impact. However, frequent abortions can easily lead to thinning of the endometrium. Additionally, if anti-inflammatory measures are not adequate, it can cause endometritis, adnexal inflammation, and other issues, which can severely affect future fertility.
The best time for an abortion is generally between 35 and 55 days of pregnancy, as this minimizes harm. Therefore, it is not recommended to have an abortion at 30 days of pregnancy, as the embryonic sac is difficult to detect at this stage, which can lead to surgical failure and significant harm. Women are advised to wait another 5 days before undergoing the procedure.
