Patient's question:
Doctor, what happens if I take birth control pills after taking medication for an abortion? I had an abortion with medication two months ago after getting married to my boyfriend, and I've recently started dating a new boyfriend. So I want to ask if taking birth control pills in this situation would have any negative effects?Doctor's answer:
After medication-induced abortion, taking contraceptive pills can have an impact on physical health. Any miscarriage is a very serious psychological trauma for the body, and the endometrium suffers severe damage. After a miscarriage, it is important to rest in bed, avoid sexual intercourse, and take oral contraceptives during special periods, which can cause severe hormonal imbalances. This can also affect future fertility and lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, during the recovery period after medication-induced abortion, it is best not to take contraceptive pills.
