Patient's question:
Due to my own carelessness, I found out that I had an unexpected pregnancy. But I already had a child, and now I don't have any desire to have another child. So, I had an abortion. One month after the surgery, I had sex with my husband and took a birth control pill afterward. Will taking a birth control pill one month after an abortion affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
An abortion one month later, taking emergency contraceptive pills orally generally has no impact on fertility. However, it is important to rest, prevent infection, and have a follow-up check-up at the hospital one month later to see if recovery is complete. It is recommended to choose external contraceptive methods such as condoms or contraceptive films. Oral contraceptives may cause irregular menstruation, and an intrauterine device can also be used for contraception.
