Patient's question:
I had an abortion with anesthesia last month. A month later, during sexual intercourse, I did not take measures to breastfeed, but at that time, my period had not arrived. I don't know how it could have happened in this situation, so I would like to understand how it is possible to conceive after a month of intercourse following an abortion with anesthesia?Doctor's answer:
If after a painless induced abortion, about a month of sexual activity without taking any contraceptive measures, there is still a possibility of pregnancy, because the female's menopause may be affected to some extent after the induced abortion procedure. Under normal circumstances, menopause usually occurs about 14 days after the onset of menstruation, but after an induced abortion, her menopause may be delayed, so there is a possibility of pregnancy in this case.
