Patient's question:
At the beginning of the month, because of a careful check showing poor fetal growth and development, my wife underwent medication-induced abortion. In the middle of the month, we had one instance of sexual intercourse. Will pregnancy occur during the month of medication-induced abortion?Doctor's answer:
Within one month after medication-induced abortion, cohabitation is strictly prohibited. During this period, the cervix remains open, making it easy to cause bacterial infections. Bacteria can enter a woman's vagina through sexual activity and reach the uterine cavity, leading to intrauterine infections. There is also a possibility of pregnancy during cohabitation in the same month after medication-induced abortion, even if menstruation has not fully recovered, as it may also result in menopause. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are important.
