Patient's question:
In 2004, I had an induced abortion. Now I am considering a medication abortion. Can you tell me if there is a high chance of me getting pregnant again?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The impact of induced abortion on fertility is generally due to excessive damage to the endometrium caused by poor surgical techniques or too many times, leading to cervical relaxation, which may result in habitual abortion in the future. If the number of abortions is excessive, it may lead to a decline in immunity, as well as conditions such as uterine bleeding, endometrial infection, urinary tract infection, and infertility. Subsequent pregnancies may result in miscarriage, premature birth, or ectopic pregnancy, leaving many hidden risks for the healthy development of the next generation. The more frequent the induced abortions, the higher the likelihood of inducing the aforementioned diseases. If already pregnant, it is important to choose a reputable hospital with experienced staff and advanced equipment for induced abortion, striving to minimize the pain and physical harm.
