A member asked:
Can a abortion cause a decrease in a woman's sex drive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends BUT: Probably so. Generally speaking, the decision to have an abortion is difficult and often associated with grieving on some level with regard to the loss. Depending on the instrumentation and or pharmacology used during the procedure, there may be chemical, hormonal and physical sequelae which decrease a woman's sex drive. Sex drive thereafter would depend on many factors.
