Patient's question:
I had an abortion due to an accidental pregnancy, and it's almost a month since the procedure. How long after an abortion can one resume sexual intercourse? Since we don't want to get pregnant again right now, we need to take precautions. Which method is best to use during intercourse? Also, how long after an abortion can one take emergency contraception?Doctor's answer:
At least one month must be strictly prohibited from sexual activity after an abortion. Rest and enhance nutrition after an abortion to promote the body's recovery as soon as possible. If you do not want to have children, you can use condoms or place an intrauterine device. They have very few side effects, and removing them does not affect future fertility. Emergency contraception pills should absolutely not be used as regular contraception because they contain high levels of hormones, have significant side effects, and pose great harm to the body.
