What Causes Infertility Issues After An Abortion?

Hi Doc, I am 29 years old and a mom of 4 yrs kid.He is my first my baby and I conceived immediately after my marriage. One yr ago, I did an abortion in a very early stage of my pregnancy due to personal & family circumstances. Now, I am trying to conceive but its not happening. My periods are regular every month and there is no difficulty during the menstruation. I am really confused if there is some problem after the abortion. I am wondering why I am not getting conceived. I am looking for your advice on the same.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.
It is important to get a detailed evaluation like ultrasound scan of the abdomen, thyroid profile and complete blood picture. Sometimes, there may be regular periods but there may not be ovulation which is needed for conception. Hormone analysis like FSH, LH, PROLACTIN, ESTROGEN, PROGESTERONE and follicular study is recommended.
Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, start folic acid supplements once daily, exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight.
For the male partner, get a semen analysis and avoid smoking, alcohol as it can affect the sperm count and quality.
Usually, most women conceive within a couple of months after a miscarriage. If it has been more than 6 months, a detailed evaluation of both you and your husband would be needed.
