Does Smoking Marijuana Affect The Uterus Dilation Procedure Before Abortion?
Hello, I have a question. I have to take an intro to an abortion tomorrow, meaning it s not the actual procedure but a doctor gives me something to losen, or widen, my uterus. And the follow next day I have the actual procedure with annesethics and other medicines. I usually smoke Marijuanna right before I Goto bed, though I was wondering will that interrupt the expansion therapy of my uterus, or not?

Hello,
Marijuana can cause changes in blood flow circulation and muscle dysfunction. There are not many studies in the literature on the effects of Marijuana on the uterus. But, I would strongly recommend avoiding marijuana in the next days.
