Patient's question:
Hello: I had an abortion on 10/22. Ten days later, I rode a bicycle twice. What kind of impact would this have on my body? Also, I've been feeling a bit nauseous for the past two days. What could be the reason for this?Additionally, how long after an abortion do I need to have a follow-up check-up? Is it mandatory? First follow-up question: Why do I still feel nauseous now?
Can I have a follow-up check-up two months later?
How long is it suitable to get pregnant again?
I found out I was pregnant one month later. Can I keep the pregnancy? What impact would this have on me or the fetus?
Doctor's answer:
Hello; Generally speaking, it is best to wait for at least one year before getting pregnant after an induced abortion. In special cases, it is recommended to wait for at least six months. This is because all types of induced abortions involve suction or scraping to remove the embryonic tissue from the uterine cavity. During the procedure, the endometrium may be damaged to varying degrees, and a recovery period is necessary. If pregnancy occurs too soon after the surgery, the endometrium may not have fully healed, making it difficult to maintain implantation and development of the fertilized egg, which can lead to a miscarriage. Additionally, women who have undergone an induced abortion are often physically weak and require time to recover. If they become pregnant too early, they may suffer from insufficient strength and poor nutrition, which can result in poor fetal development or spontaneous miscarriage.
