NCT05688228

Brief Summary

The impact on sexuality has been less studied and there is no French study on this subject and the rare studies are contradictory. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of abortion (medical or surgical) on female sexuality, to look for a difference in the impact on sexuality according to the method used for the termination (medical or surgical) just after the procedure and at 1, 3 and 6 months and to look for risk factors and protective factors for the existence or occurrence of sexual dysfunction before and after abortion.
