Patient's question:
Ten days of cohabitation with the same person, taking birth control pills, after seven days, the skin started to peel, and it continued to peel for five days. I want to know what should be done in this situation? This patient is my girlfriend, and we haven't married yet, but she got pregnant and left the child behind, then continued to cohabitate.Doctor's answer:
Now it is the postpartum recovery period after a minor surgery, and it is generally not advisable to have sexual intercourse too early during the postpartum period, especially when the skin breakdown has not yet healed completely. Improper sexual intercourse can affect the complete recovery of the uterus, shorten the bleeding duration, and lead to infection. The initial skin breakdown was caused by medication-induced withdrawal bleeding, and subsequent skin breakdowns may be related to infection. You can first have an ultrasound to confirm the cause of the skin breakdown, and then decide on appropriate medication for symptomatic treatment.
