Patient's question:
I'm not pregnant for long, so I decided to have a medication abortion. I just took the medication, and after the abortion, I had sexual intercourse. It's been ten days since the miscarriage, but now I feel pain in my lower abdomen, and besides the stinging sensation, what should I do after having sexual intercourse after medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Generally, sexual intercourse is not recommended until at least one month after medication-induced abortion. You had intercourse only ten days after the medication abortion, which may lead to infection and cause symptoms such as itching and pain in the lower abdomen again. This could be related to infection due to early sexual activity. It is recommended that you visit a hospital promptly to test your discharge for analysis. This will help determine the topical wash solution and oral medication for anti-inflammatory treatment. If the discomfort worsens again, you will need to go to the hospital for intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment.
