Patient's question:
Two months ago, I found out I was unexpectedly pregnant. Last month, I just had an abortion, and I'm still in the postpartum period, but I'm pregnant again. What is going on?Doctor's answer:
If you have an IUD (intrauterine device) and engage in sexual activity before the one-month mark, this can also lead to pregnancy. This is because after an IUD insertion, the ovaries may not have fully recovered their postmenopausal function, so there is a possibility of pregnancy during intercourse. Generally, it is recommended not to engage in sexual activity within the first month after an IUD insertion. If you do so within this period, in addition to the risk of pregnancy, you are also more likely to develop gynecological infections, such as acute pelvic inflammatory disease.
