Generally, abortion does not cause infertility. Most women experience no fertility problems following an abortion. However, in rare cases, scarring from a surgical abortion can affect a woman's fertility.
It's important to note that abortion does not increase the risk of breast cancer, mental health issues, or other long-term health complications. The procedure itself is safe and effective, and most women go on to have healthy pregnancies in the future.
While abortion is generally safe for future pregnancies, it can increase the risk of certain complications such as:
- Asherman's Syndrome: This condition occurs when scar tissue forms in the uterus, which can interfere with implantation and cause infertility.
- Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): This infection can damage the fallopian tubes and cause infertility.
However, the risk of these complications is very low, and most women do not experience any problems after having an abortion.
It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and to address any concerns you may have about abortion and its potential effects on your future fertility.
