Patient's question:
I am 24 years old. I used to have sexual intercourse with my boyfriend, and always used protection each time. But recently, I've been feeling nauseous and vomiting, and haven't had my period. I secretly took a test, and the result was an unexpected pregnancy. I'm not married, so I had to have an abortion. I want to know how many boxes of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets I should take after the abortion?Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, taking one box of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets is usually sufficient. It primarily prevents the occurrence of intrauterine adhesions and helps ensure normal menstruation. For at least one month after the procedure, sexual intercourse should be avoided, as this period carries a higher risk of infection. Without contraceptive measures, there is also the possibility of pregnancy. Therefore, it is crucial to pay attention and avoid sexual activity altogether, as this could potentially affect future fertility.
