Patient's question:
Doctor, I am still married and have been with my boyfriend for two years. Because we don't like wearing condoms, I had an abortion once during that time. I always feel that it has caused great harm to my body. I would like to ask you, after having one abortion, if I can still take birth control pills if I need to get pregnant later?Doctor's answer:
If you have had a miscarriage or taken emergency contraception, as long as your menstrual cycle returns to normal, it generally will not affect pregnancy. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much. If you do not want to get pregnant, it is recommended to take good precautions to avoid another pregnancy. It is also suggested to undergo thorough examinations during pregnancy, and it is advisable to take folic acid in the first three months to prevent fetal malformations.
