Patient's question:
I am 26 years old. I didn't use protection during sex before, which led to pregnancy and a miscarriage. Now I have stomach pain and am not recovering well. Yesterday I had sex again and am afraid of getting pregnant again. Can I not take birth control pills after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, it is possible to take birth control pills, but it is generally not recommended to use birth control pills for breastfeeding. Moreover, it is best not to have sexual intercourse within one month after an abortion to avoid re-infection and promote wound healing. Additionally, it may lead to a series of adverse effects such as menstrual disorders and amenorrhea. Patients should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
