Due to some reasons, I had an abortion 3 months ago. After the abortion, I lost interest in sexual life. Sometimes there is even fear. I would like to ask, will abortion affect sexual desire?

Expert answer:

Artificial abortion is a simple operation, and most of it will not cause loss of sexual excitement. There are many factors that can affect sexual desire. In addition to diseases and certain drugs that can cause sexual dysfunction, mental state is also an important factor and is the most common cause. After artificial abortion, the operation may leave some painful shadows and cause some sexual fears. Having sex under such a psychological state will inhibit the sexual excitement center of the brain, weaken the transmission of sexual impulses, and thus inhibit sexual excitement.

The decrease in sexual desire caused by psychosexual factors is temporary. If the husband and wife are considerate and understanding of each other and relieve the fear of abortion, a harmonious and pleasant sexual life will be restored.
