Abortion is not associated with an increase in breast cancer risk.
Abortions which have not had any complications will pose no risk to a woman’s future reproductive health. If infections crop up, then there are chances of damage to the fallopian tubes, which in turn can increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy or fertility problems.
Swift medical intervention in such a case can easily prevent the risk.
The emotional after-effects of an abortion might vary from woman to woman. Some women might feel a sense of loss, depression, and sadness. Other might feel immense relief. Some others may encounter feelings of anger, confusion, shame, and guilt. On the whole, studies show that there is no long-term psychological distress associated with abortion.
You will need to ask your doctor regarding this. Though most of the doctors under ideal circumstances may suggest that you can continue with your sex life after two to three weeks of abortion, since light vaginal bleeding may continue for up to two weeks after the abortion.
But, please keep in mind that though it may be several weeks after your abortion before you menstruate again, you could ovulate in the first week or two after your abortion, meaning, you could get pregnant right away. Therefore, it is advisable to start using contraceptives and condom immediately if you do not wish to become pregnant right away.
Follow-up visits are extremely necessary to make sure there are no complications. Please visit the doctor according to the appointments scheduled for you.
