Patient's question:
I just finished a miscarriage two weeks ago, and my boyfriend wants to have sex with me. Although my body has recovered quite a bit, I'm still worried about whether it might cause any problems. Also, he told me to take birth control pills. Can I use emergency contraception after a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
During the two weeks after an abortion, the uterus has not fully recovered. At least one month after the procedure, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. If sexual activity occurs too early, it can indeed be harmful to you, potentially leading to endometritis, uterine bleeding, or the recurrence of gynecological infections. In severe cases, it may even result in infertility in the future. Additionally, if contraceptive measures are not taken during sexual activity, pregnancy may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to take emergency contraceptive pills.
