Patient's question:
What are the physical differences between a woman who has had an abortion and a virgin? What are the effects of abortion on future fertility?Doctor's answer:
Abortion and normal childbirth will both leave traces on the cervix. Generally, women without a childbirth history have a round cervix opening, while women who have given birth vaginally have a linear cervix opening. Whether a woman has given birth or not cannot be determined from the external genitalia; it is primarily reflected in the cervix. I hope this helps!
