Question 1

can a doctor tell or find out if you have had an abortion. plz suggest mam. i was aborted when i was 22 and now im gonna marry a doc. will he find it ?

Accepted Answer

No: There's no way to tell, whether it was medical or surgical. I'm sorry it happened in the first place, and I hope that someday  the two of you will be close enough that each of you can know the other's full life experiences -- good and bad.

Question 2

how can doctors tell if you have had an abortion?

Accepted Answer

If you tell us: Is usually the only way. If you had an abortion with complications or have had multiple abortions there may be clues; otherwise, we only know what you tell us.

Question 3

need doctor's help! will my doctor tell that i have had an abortion?!

Accepted Answer

No: An abortion, especially in the first trimester leaves no tell-tale signs.  No one can tell if you have had an abortion.

Question 4

what should i do about prior abortion: tell or not tell the doctor?

Accepted Answer

Open communication: It is important for the patient-doctor relationship to have open communication and honesty. When an obgyn asked about pregnancy history it is for a very good reason. That is the way we (obs) know if you are at higher risk for any conditions, offer different screening exams, etc. Keeping information from your provider may compromise your own care. Have an open discussion. It's all confidential.

Question 5

can doctor tell if i had abortion 3 times before. but the last one was 4 years ago.

Accepted Answer

No: It would be hard for a doctor to tell you had an abortion much less how many you have had unless you told her/him. Hope this helps.

Question 6

can doctors detect past abortion or a oregnancy that she does not want to tell anybody?

Accepted Answer

No: There is not a way to know if a woman had an abortion in the past. This is information she may choose to share or choose to keep private.

Question 7

i had an abortion almost 3 years ago with surical process.now i repair my hymen.can a doctor tell that i was peragnent or had an abortion.

Accepted Answer

It depends: I don't have any real experience with this, but it would probably depend on what type of surgery was done (there are several forms). A doctor could probably tell that you have had surgery, and if you've been pregnant previously. 
You should hopefully be able to be honest with your doctor as he/she needs to know your real medical history.

Question 8

can you tell me, how are doctors/ nurses affected by abortion?

Accepted Answer

Polar opposites: Those who oppose abortion are offended and upset by abortions.  Those who have sympathy for the woman and do not have moral proscriptions against this procedure, can be sympathetic and are unaffected.  Most in this category do not advocate abortion but consider it a personal choice.

Question 9

when examination can doctors tell if there was abortion that happened years ago?

Accepted Answer

If you tell us: Is usually the only way. If you had an abortion with complications or have had multiple abortions there may be clues; otherwise, we only know what you tell us.

Question 10

can you tell me if abortion doctors go home at the end of the day with a sense of job satisfaction?

Accepted Answer

Likely: Doctors who provide abortions do not do that to terminate pregnancies. They are as committed to the health of women as any body else. They are doing the procedure to provide a medical service to women who often have few choices and resources. It is understandable that many people have religious objections to the procedure, but most of them have not been in the shoes of women in need of care.
