Patient's question:
I had an abortion on October 11th, but had sex with my partner on the night of the 25th. Now I'm experiencing some symptoms that might indicate pregnancy. Could I be pregnant? Can a pregnancy test detect it? If it turns out positive and I don't want to keep the pregnancy, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
There is a possibility of pregnancy, but the chance should not be too high. Generally, women can restore menstruation about 22 days after an abortion and approximately 40 days after a miscarriage. For women, it is recommended to take a pregnancy test about 18 days after intercourse. If the test is positive, it may indicate pregnancy. If the woman does not wish to continue the pregnancy, she can take medication for an abortion under the guidance of a doctor. It is important to pay attention to rest and maintain emotional stability.
