Quick Answer
No. A properly performed abortion by a qualified doctor does not affect fertility. You can conceive again immediately after MTP. Multiple abortions done correctly also do not significantly affect fertility. Unsafe or illegal abortions by unqualified providers can cause complications.

One of the most common fears women have about MTP is whether it will affect their ability to have children in the future. Here is what the medical evidence says.
Does Abortion Affect Fertility?
No. A single safe abortion performed by a qualified gynaecologist at a registered facility does not affect your fertility. Medical abortion (pills) has no effect on fertility. Surgical abortion (S&E or D&C) done correctly does not damage the uterine lining or fallopian tubes. Fertility returns as soon as your hormones normalise after the procedure.
When Can You Conceive After Abortion?
Ovulation can return as early as 2 weeks after MTP. This means you can theoretically become pregnant very quickly after an abortion. If you do not want to become pregnant again use contraception immediately. If you want to become pregnant it is generally recommended to wait 1 to 2 menstrual cycles before trying again to allow the uterine lining to fully recover.

Does Repeated Abortion Affect Fertility?
Multiple abortions done safely by qualified doctors do not significantly increase the risk of future infertility. The key factors are the safety and skill of the doctor and the technique used. Unsafe abortions by unqualified providers using dangerous instruments or unsterile conditions can cause uterine scarring (Asherman syndrome) which does affect fertility. This is why safe, legal MTP by registered doctors is always critical.

Rare Complication — Asherman Syndrome
Asherman syndrome is uterine scarring that can occur after aggressive or repeated D&C procedures. It is very rare with modern techniques like MVA (Manual Vacuum Aspiration) which are much gentler on the uterine lining. If diagnosed it is treatable with hysteroscopic surgery. MySurgery's partner doctors use modern gentle techniques that minimise this risk.
