Patient's question:
I had a miscarriage two weeks ago, and the bleeding lasted for 8 days before stopping. Yesterday, my boyfriend wanted it again, and I didn't refuse and gave in. I'm afraid of getting pregnant again and don't want to have another abortion, worried that it might affect my fertility in the future. Can I take birth control pills if I have sex after a miscarriage within one month?Doctor's answer:
Yes, you can take birth control pills, but do not take them frequently for contraception. The side effects of birth control pills are significant, and they can cause considerable harm to the body. In severe cases, they may lead to infertility again, and they can also disrupt menstrual cycles. However, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after a miscarriage. Premature sexual intercourse may lead to vaginal bacterial infections or excessive bleeding. The care and health management for any illness require maintaining a stable mindset, as a healthy mental attitude is very helpful for both the treatment and prevention of diseases.
