Patient's question:
20 days ago, I went to the hospital for an abortion. Last night, I had sex with my boyfriend using withdrawal. Will I get pregnant if I have sex 20 days after an abortion using withdrawal?Doctor's answer:
Just had an abortion surgery 20 days ago. Dilation and curettage can cause significant harm to a woman's body. The uterus is still in the recovery phase. It is recommended that you rest more and avoid sexual activity in the near future. Usually, some pre-ejaculate fluid may enter the woman's vagina before the man orgasms. Although it is a small amount, it is enough to fertilize the woman's egg. Especially when the woman is in her ovulation period, the probability of fertilization is even higher. Therefore, withdrawal (coitus interruptus) can also lead to pregnancy. Pay attention to proper breastfeeding to reduce harm to the body.
