Patient's question:
22 days after medication abortion, had sex without contraception. Do I need to take emergency contraception?Doctor's answer:
After medication-induced abortion, there may be a short period of abnormal menstruation. It is difficult to estimate the ovulation period. It is best to take post-coital emergency contraception pills. Three to seven days after stopping the medication, withdrawal bleeding may occur, which is successful for breastfeeding. It is recommended that if you are not planning to get pregnant, you should take effective contraceptive measures to prevent accidental pregnancy. Emergency contraception pills should not be taken casually, as they can easily cause menstrual disorders. They are suitable as a backup measure after other contraceptive methods fail and should not be used as a regular form of contraception.
