It can cause scarring that could effect your periods.  Make your periods much lighter or non exsist.  In many cases it can be treated.

Hi!
Depending upon the circumstances, an abortion could cause scarring of the uterine lining or endometrium.  This condition is known as Asherman's syndrome, and is usually diagnosed by hysteroscopy.  It can be treated, often with very good results.
Hope this helps!
