Patient's question:
I am living with my boyfriend right now. Recently, I accidentally got pregnant, but we are not planning to have a child, so I had an abortion. Now I want to have sex. How long after an abortion should I take drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion procedure, it is generally recommended to wait at least one month before resuming sexual activity. During this period, you can take drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets. Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets are a type of short-acting contraceptive medication. Typically, they should be taken immediately after the abortion and continued on a daily basis without missing any doses. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible to avoid compromising the effectiveness of contraception. It is advised to always use proper contraceptive measures to prevent unintended pregnancy.
