Brief Answer: Plan for abortion only if absolutely needed. Detailed Answer: Hi Ms. XXXXXXX Thanks for writing to us. I would suggest an abortion only if deemed absolutely necessary. Repeated induced abortions may create uterine irritability which at a later date can lead to spontaneous abortions when you wish to conceive. Please consult your gynecologist, confirm pregnancy and the gestational age through an exam and a trans-vaginal sonogram and plan further management. If you wish for an abortion, go for it but remember to use a good mode of contraception in future to prevent such recurrences again. Hope I have answered your query. Please contact for further information. I will be happy to help. regards, Shanti.V.
