Patient's question:
Recently, I haven't been feeling well, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. After an abortion, can I take birth control pills if I have sex?Doctor's answer:
After, it is generally recommended to avoid sexual intercourse for about one month. Premature sexual activity can easily lead to complications such as incomplete recovery of the endometrium, infections in the reproductive system, and poor flow of lochia. If sexual intercourse occurs, it is also necessary to take oral contraceptives, as normal menstruation can also result in pregnancy. Therefore, it is still important to use contraceptive measures, and after an abortion, attention should be paid to the body's recovery.
