You will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, after an abortion, you should choose reliable contraceptive measures as soon as possible. Abortion can only be used as a remedial surgery as a last resort after contraceptive failure. Contraception must be the main method and abortion cannot be used as a contraceptive measure.
