Does surgery cause infertility?

Patient's question:

I had an abortion on November 16th. The doctor told me my period would come on December 16th, but it hasn't arrived this month. I'm sure it's done because I had an ultrasound three days after the procedure. I'm not worried about anything else, but I'm afraid the surgery might prevent me from getting pregnant in the future. Everything else feels fine—no itching, no pain, normal discharge. I used to have irregular periods! I want to ask the doctor if my current condition is dangerous? I'm so scared, I'm only 22 years old!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this situation cannot be determined. Taking emergency contraception multiple times can lead to menstrual disorders, bleeding, or prolonged spotting. Overuse and frequent use of emergency contraception may cause harm to the body and may lead to infertility. It is recommended not to take emergency contraception unless necessary, and at the same time, pay attention to whether you have menstrual irregularities. If it has not recovered after a long period of time, it is necessary to regulate your menstrual cycle.
