Patient's question:
I had a medication abortion three years ago and haven't used any contraception since then. I haven't been pregnant. Am I infertile? I'm very scared. I don't want a baby now. Should I go to the hospital for a check-up and treatment now, or wait until I want a baby to go?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The harm caused to the body by medication abortion is no less than that caused by surgical abortion. It achieves the purpose of forcing the endometrium to shed forcibly by affecting the endocrine system, while damaging the endometrium and risking disrupting the endocrine balance. These can lead to early miscarriage, fetal malformation, fetal arrest, or even amenorrhea. It has been proven that many pathogens, such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Ureaplasma urealyticum, can cause cervical canal in women, leading to ascending infections such as tubitis, endometritis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. These infections in women are often asymptomatic, but the lesions progress gradually and are hidden, ultimately leading to infertility or ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a detailed examination to clarify the specific impact on you and receive early treatment to avoid reducing the effectiveness of future treatments. Wish you health!
