Patient's question:
I got pregnant unexpectedly, and my husband and I currently do not want a child because our marriage is unstable and we often argue. Additionally, it has been less than a year since we got married from the time we met. Therefore, after having a miscarriage, we underwent a D&C procedure. One month after the surgery, should we use withdrawal method to avoid pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Most women have completely restored their ovarian menopausal function about a month after the cesarean section. If a small amount of semen enters the vagina during sexual intercourse, there is a possibility of pregnancy. Withdrawal (ejaculation outside the body) is not a safe or effective method of contraception. During the thrusting process in the vagina, a small amount of semen may already have leaked out and entered the vagina before ejaculation. In this case, to prevent the recurrence of accidental early pregnancy, oral emergency contraception is taken while breastfeeding.
