Patient's question:
About a month ago, I had an abortion surgery. Two weeks later, my body had mostly recovered. Now, 25 days have passed, and my husband wants to have sex. There are no condoms at home. I want to ask if it's okay to take emergency contraception pills 25 days after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello. After an induced abortion, sexual activity should not be resumed within one month. During the procedure, the doctor should have informed you about this. This situation not only increases the risk of pregnancy but may also lead to various gynecological infections, such as endometritis or adnexal inflammation. Severe cases may affect future fertility. However, if unprotected intercourse has already occurred, emergency contraception pills can still be taken, but they must be taken within 72 hours.
