Patient's question:
In March 2006, shortly after becoming pregnant, I underwent a medication-induced abortion. Since then, I have not been able to conceive again. During this period, I have also had check-ups at local hospitals, including a tubal patency test, which showed no issues; and a follow-up examination on the development of my eggs, which, apart from slightly slower growth, was also normal. This has caused me great distress, as I wonder if the medication-induced abortion damaged my uterus. After the procedure, my menstrual flow increased, but the cycle remained relatively normal. Regarding the above situation, I sincerely hope that the respected expert doctor can provide guidance. I would like to know which hospital could treat me. Thank you very much!First follow-up question: (2008-02-25 17:22:
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 by affecting the endocrine system, which, while damaging the endometrium, also carries the risk of disrupting endocrine balance. These can lead to early miscarriage, fetal malformations, fetal demise, 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 tubal, endometritis, and pelvic. These infections in women are often asymptomatic, but the lesions progress gradually and remain hidden, ultimately resulting in infertility or ectopic pregnancy. Tubal irrigation cannot definitively determine whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed. Our hospital is a modern specialized hospital established in strict accordance with the World Health Organization's standards for the diagnosis and treatment of human infertility and sterility. We recommend that you come to our hospital for a comprehensive and systematic examination to clarify the specific damage caused by the abortion and your current fertility condition.
