Patient's question:
I and my boyfriend once forgot to take precautions, and later got pregnant. However, we didn't want to have a child at this time because our financial situation wasn't very optimistic. We decided to have a medication abortion. I don't know if it will affect sexual life after the procedure. Will the first time after medication abortion have an impact?Doctor's answer:
Using medication abortion, it is generally similar to having a menstrual period, mainly with a relatively longer period of bleeding. Most women do not have surgical trauma to the endometrium, so recovery after the procedure is usually quick. During this stage, it is first necessary to have an ultrasound follow-up to rule out any residual tissue in the uterine cavity. After medication abortion, sexual activity can be resumed one month later. Most women will not be affected by the quality of their sex life, but it is important to use proper contraception to prevent an accidental pregnancy again.
