A member asked:

Are there any negative health repercussions, physically speaking, to having an abortion?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: A single abortion performed by a qualified md in a qualified facility should not affect your health or your ability to conceive in the future when you wish to. Use a reliable method of pregnancy prevention to prevent multiple abortions as multiple abortions increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy and can affect your fertility.
