Medical abortions can cause fertility
problems such as sterility in the future
from possible complications during the
procedure such as an infection of the
uterus. Such an infection can spread up to
the Fallopian tubes and can cause
adhesions and tube obstruction. Mild
dysplasia is treated with a cone-biopsy.
Cone biopsies do also include some risks
to fertility but not as high as the risks
during a case of medical abortion.
