Patient's question:
Last month, I just had an abortion. After the surgery, I had sex with my boyfriend again, and at the time, I felt that it would be absolutely impossible to get pregnant, so I didn't use any protection. But now my period is delayed again, and I'm very worried that I might be pregnant. Is it likely to get pregnant in the first month after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
One month after an abortion, if you don't breastfeed, there is a possibility of getting pregnant because as long as you are fully recovered and have resumed menstruation after the abortion, having sex can lead to pregnancy. If you haven't taken any contraceptive measures, the chances of getting pregnant are high. Now that you are experiencing symptoms of delayed menstruation again, it's best to use a pregnancy test to check if you might have gotten pregnant again. If you are pregnant, you will need to prepare for prenatal examinations.
