Abortion – How It Affects Female Fertility by planbwellness: 8:43pm On Jan 21, 2015
The growing rates of infertility and secondary infertility (infertility after a woman has had one child) can be attributed to many things, but many medical experts and researchers are reluctant to name surgical abortion as a possible causal factor.

It’s unlikely that having an abortion will affect your fertility. However, some research suggests a possible link between abortion and an increased risk of:

Vaginal bleeding during early pregnancy
Preterm birth
Low birth weight
Placenta previa — when the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix, which can cause severe bleeding before or during delivery.

Millions of women are infertile today due to several past abortions they have had which have caused one issue or the other to their reproductive system.

During a medical abortion, a woman takes oral medications in early pregnancy to abort the fetus. During a surgical abortion, the fetus is removed from the uterus — typically with a vacuum device, a syringe or a spoon-shaped instrument with a sharp edge (curette) — as an outpatient surgical procedure. Rarely, a surgical abortion can damage the cervix or uterus. In such cases, surgery might be needed to correct the damage before a woman can conceive again.

Complications Of An Abortion

sterility

A number of women have complications, such as:

A severe infection, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
Damage to the womb (uterus)

Complications such as these can affect fertility.

Infection After An Abortion

Taking antibiotics before an abortion may reduce your risk of infection. The healthcare professionals treating you will provide advice about taking antibiotics.

Most infections are easy to treat. However, an infection, such as PID, that’s not treated could lead to a more severe infection of your reproductive organs. This can cause infertility or an ectopic pregnancy (when a fertilised egg implants itself outside the womb).
