Last night we had sex. Can I take medication to induce an abortion today?

Patient's question:

After getting married to my husband for over a month, I got pregnant. However, I didn't know I had taken medication before, and I was afraid the child might be deformed, so I planned to have an abortion. But last night, we had sex together. I would like to ask if it's possible to have a medication abortion today after having sex last night?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, sexual intercourse is not allowed before a miscarriage to prevent infection. Before taking medication for a medication-induced miscarriage, sexual intercourse is permissible. On the first day of medication, if there is no vaginal bleeding, sexual intercourse is still not affected. However, once bleeding begins, sexual intercourse should be avoided, and it is necessary to wait one month after the miscarriage before resuming it. After taking medication for a miscarriage, it is important to rest, avoid fatigue, keep warm, and avoid getting cold. Sexual intercourse can be resumed one month later.
