Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
IT is not at all recommended to undergo repeated abortions.
Whether they are done surgically or medically, it is unwise.
This is because repeated abortions can lead to complications.
Repeated medical abortions cause scar tissue and adhesions in the uterus.
Because of this, medical abortion might not work again in the future.
Also, damage to the endometrial lining can lead to menstrual irregularities and fertility issues.
Fallopian tube blockage can occur.
The female can get anemic.
Also, infections can result.
It is just not a wise move to undergo repeated abortions.
Much better is to use reliable contraception.
Take care.

Hi, thank you for asking healthcare Magic.
Mifepristone is a drug that acts at the level of uterus by blocking the effect of pregnancy hormone (progesterone) and inducing uterine contraction and abortion. After its elimination from the body (in some few days), inhibition stops and will not affect subsequent pregnancies. It is often necessary to associate it with a prostaglandine like misoprostol in pregnancy termination.

I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you.
I wish you good health
