Will I be infertile after abortion?

In today's society, a painful experience for some women is finding out that they are unexpectedly pregnant. If you are pregnant and don't want a child, the only option is to have an abortion. Any surgery will have adverse effects on women's bodies. Abortion is also one of the ways that most affects women's physical health. The consequences will affect future fertility issues. So will abortion cause infertility?

Generally speaking, the possibility of causing infertility is relatively small, so don't be too nervous about it. Mainly after you have had an abortion. Pay more attention to rest and prevent infection. This should be more important. In normal times, drink more high-protein foods. Allow your body to recover and adjust as quickly as possible.

The harms of abortion are mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1. It may cause menstrual disorders. A small number of patients may have irregular menstrual cycles and prolonged menstruation, while a large number of patients may experience increased menstrual flow after abortion.

Second, it may cause adhesion of the cervix or uterine cavity, and cervical adhesion may cause blood accumulation in the uterine cavity;

3. It may cause infection in the uterine cavity;

4. It may lead to habitual miscarriage in the future. The more abortions you have, the greater the possibility of miscarriage.

5. It may lead to lifelong infertility;

6. Uterine perforation: The longer the gestational age, the higher the risk; the more miscarriages, the greater the chance of perforation. Other conditions such as abnormal uterine position or shape or previous uterine surgery (such as cesarean section or myomectomy) increase the chance of perforation;

7. Cervical or endometrial adhesion: During artificial abortion, if the doctor's technique is too rough, it is very likely to cause injury and inflammation of the cervix or endometrium, which may lead to postoperative cervical or endometrial adhesion and cause menstrual abnormalities, such as amenorrhea or too little menstrual flow. In severe cases, infertility may occur in the future;

8. Cervical injury: During the abortion process, if you are not careful and dilate the cervix too quickly, it may cause damage to the cervix and make it easier to have a miscarriage in the future, especially for women who are pregnant for the first time or have not given birth yet.

9. Incomplete abortion: If the operation is not performed completely, a small amount of fetal tissue will remain in the uterus, which may affect uterine contraction and cause continuous bleeding or cause adhesion, infection, etc. It is best to perform another careful surgery to remove the remaining tissue. Abnormal position or shape of the uterus is generally more likely to cause this sequelae;

10. Bacterial infection: If the instruments are not completely sterilized, or the surgeon himself does not pay attention to the aseptic process, it may cause intrauterine infection and even continue to spread upward to invade the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity. In severe cases, it may cause ectopic pregnancy or infertility in the future.

Psychological impact: Abortion can cause people to have guilt, suicidal impulses, withdrawal, regret, loss of self-confidence, lowered self-esteem, hostility and anger, despair and helplessness, hatred of people related to the abortion, end of relationship with partner, loss of sexual desire, inability to forgive oneself, and induce nightmares and other psychological barriers. .
