Patient's question:
I accidentally got pregnant before, but didn't want to keep the baby, so I had an abortion. After resting for nearly a month, my body has mostly recovered. My boyfriend wants to have sex with me, but we didn't use a condom that time, and I'm worried about getting pregnant again. How should I breastfeed immediately after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
You have undergone an artificial abortion procedure, and during the period from now until your next menstrual cycle resumes, it is best to avoid sexual activity. This is because your body has not fully recovered yet. If you engage in sexual activity during this time, it can easily lead to infection or endometrial ectopic disease. Additionally, it is generally not allowed or recommended to use emergency contraception pills during this period, as the medication itself can disrupt hormone levels in the body and may affect the recovery of the endometrium.
