Will medical abortion affect future pregnancy?

Medical abortion is a common method of abortion. Although it is easy to operate and the method is relatively simple, if it is performed improperly, it will have a great impact on women's health and may even affect their future conception and cause infertility. In addition, it is easy to cause infection, incomplete abortion, and cause certain harm to ovarian function. Let’s take a look at this aspect.

Will medical abortion affect future pregnancy?

1. Cause infection:

Medical abortion takes longer than artificial abortion. Sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not completely expelled, the uterine membrane is not restored well, and vaginal bleeding lasts longer, which may last for 2-3 weeks or even 1-2 months. Long-term chronic blood loss can cause anemia and reduce the body's resistance. At this time, bacteria often go back through the vagina and cause inflammation of the endometrium.

2. Impact on fertility:

Can cause repeated damage to the endometrium. Due to damage to the endometrium, women are more likely to develop placenta previa when they become pregnant in the future, which can cause heavy prenatal bleeding. Due to multiple miscarriages, some women may also experience habitual miscarriages.

3. Affect ovarian function:

Inhibit the function of the ovaries, affect the growth and development of follicles and even ovulation. What are the dangers of medical abortion? Some women may experience menstrual disorders after medical abortion, which is manifested as a shortened or prolonged menstrual cycle. The harm of medical abortion to the body includes increased menstrual flow.

4. Incomplete abortion:

Not all women are suitable for medical abortion. If the abortion is incomplete, it will affect the contraction of the uterus and the repair of the endometrial wound, and significantly increase the amount of vaginal bleeding, which is 2 to 3 times the normal menstrual volume. In severe cases, heavy bleeding may occur, leading to anemia and shock. At this time, blood transfusion and emergency surgery for curettage and hemostasis are required.

If you have had a medical abortion once and the process went smoothly, that is, the following three situations:

1. The gestational sac has been completely removed on the first day of medical abortion bleeding. 1-2 days after the gestational sac is discharged, the vaginal bleeding stops, or there is only a very small amount of blood. If it stops within 7 days after the gestational sac is discharged, it is considered successful.

2. Take drugs to prevent infection during medical abortion.

3. Menstruation will resume about one month after the medical abortion.
