Patient's question:
Medical Description: Currently experiencing lower back pain during menstruation. It is relatively mild.Past Treatment and Effect: Had an ultrasound examination, which showed no abnormalities in the uterus and both adnexa.
Desired Help: Two years ago, I underwent medication-induced abortion. Has the reduced menstrual flow affected fertility? Is the current lower back pain during menstruation a concern?
Doctor's answer:
The medication abortion can cause certain harm to the body, but it does not necessarily lead to infertility. Conception is a complex physiological process that requires the following conditions:1. Normal ovulation by the ovaries
2. Normal semen containing healthy sperm
3. The meeting and combination of the egg and sperm in the fallopian tubes to form a fertilized egg
4. The fertilized egg being successfully transported into the uterine cavity
5. The endometrium being fully prepared for the fertilized egg to implant.
If any of these steps are abnormal, conception can be hindered. The reasons for infertility may be related to the female, the male, or both. It is recommended that you and your partner visit a professional hospital and follow the doctor's advice.
