Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Psychosexual Medicine
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Limited research exists on the psychosexual effects of induced abortion.
  • Negative psychological outcomes and psychiatric complications are considered rare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the impact of induced abortion on female sexuality and couple relationships.
  • To synthesize findings from existing literature on post-abortion sexual and relational health.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was conducted.
  • Studies were included if they reported quantitative or qualitative data on sexuality post-pregnancy termination.
  • Four studies met the inclusion criteria for analysis.

Main Results:

  • One prospective study with a control group found no significant difference in sexual functioning after one year.
  • Observational studies indicated sexual dysfunction in up to 30% of women post-abortion.
  • Women undergoing abortion reported significantly more relationship conflicts, with separation occurring in approximately 25% of couples.

Conclusions:

  • Some studies suggest sexual dysfunction and increased relationship conflicts following induced abortion.
  • While abortion may not be the sole cause of separation in many cases, psychological and relationship factors may contribute to unintended pregnancies.
  • Further rigorous research is needed to definitively understand the impact of induced abortion on sexuality and relationships.
