Question
In the case of being RH-negative and O-type blood, what impact does a previous induced abortion have on future fertility?
Answer
The impact of being RH-negative and O-type blood on future fertility depends on the partner’s RH blood type. If the partner is RH-positive, there is a possibility of hemolytic disease; if the partner is RH-negative, hemolytic disease will not occur. It is recommended that both parties undergo antibody screening and antibody concentration tests. Treatment suggestions include taking traditional Chinese medicine, enhancing the fetus’s resistance, and timely termination of pregnancy. It is important to note that as pregnancy progresses, more antibodies are produced, which can have a greater impact on the fetus. Therefore, it may be necessary to terminate the pregnancy around the 36th week of gestation. In summary, future fertility should be approached with caution, avoid severe exercise, and always be vigilant. In case of symptoms of hemolytic disease, one should immediately seek medical attention.
