A member asked:

Can medication induced abortion at 6 weeks ..cause blockage of fallopian tubes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: A medical abortion, by itself, will not cause blockage of the fallopian tubes. If you get an infection in the uterus, especially if it is a sexually-transmitted infection, after the abortion, it can cause blockage of your fallopian tubes.
