Patient's question:
Last month, I had a thorough check-up and discovered I was pregnant. I underwent an abortion procedure myself. Now, there's no more bleeding, and my body has almost fully recovered. Last night, I had sex with my boyfriend, and he used a condom, but it had a hole. I wanted to ask you, after a month of having an abortion, can I take birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
It is okay to take birth control pills one month after childbirth. If a condom breaks during sexual activity, emergency contraception (post-coital pills) should be taken to ensure safety. It is necessary to take the medication within 72 hours after intercourse. If taken too late, it may not be effective in ensuring safe breastfeeding. However, it is still best to take it as little as possible in the future, and it should not be used less than three times a year.
