ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the long-term effects of surgical and medical abortion on women in China. The goal is to understand how these procedures might affect women's health, their ability to have children in the future, and any complications that could arise during pregnancy. By gathering this information, researchers aim to provide valuable insights that can help improve health policies and guidelines related to abortion and fertility for women of childbearing age.

To participate in the trial, women aged 20 to 40 who are voluntarily seeking a non-medical abortion within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy may be eligible. Participants will need to be willing to have regular follow-up appointments after the procedure and sign a consent form to take part. It’s important to note that women who have had certain types of miscarriages or have difficulties with reading or understanding the information will not be included in the study. Overall, this research aims to ensure the safety and health of women undergoing these procedures and help shape future practices in reproductive health.
