Patient's question:
At first, there wasn't much discomfort, just a slight itching in the lower abdomen, which I thought was normal and didn't pay much attention. Later, when I went to the bathroom, there were blood streaks in my stool, and then there was some heavy bleeding. I was terrified—what was going on? After an abortion, I took emergency contraception pills and they broke. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
After the abortion, taking emergency contraception can also lead to withdrawal bleeding, which is similar to a menstrual period. It is not advisable to have sexual intercourse within one month after the abortion. If sexual activity occurs too soon, it may easily cause inflammation in the uterine cavity, vagina, or cervix, which can have a significant impact on the body. If uterine adhesion occurs, it may affect future fertility. It is normal to experience withdrawal bleeding after taking oral contraceptives, as this is a normal physiological phenomenon, so there is no need to be anxious.
