Patient's question:
Patient's Gender: I had sex with my girlfriend during her pregnancy. I also ejaculated inside. Four days later, she went to the hospital for medication-induced abortion. It went smoothly and she was able to pass the pregnancy. The medication-induced abortion was done on October 18th. But now, it's November 18th, and she hasn't had her period yet; it's been three days already. I'm very worried she might get pregnant again.If you have sex after a medication-induced abortion and use contraception, should you not get pregnant again?
Doctor's answer:
The medication used for medication abortion can very likely lead to menstrual disorders. In your case, it is more likely to be temporary menstrual irregularity. You can wait for a few days first. If your period doesn't come for more than three months, it is best to undergo a detailed examination to check for endometrial adhesion. In the future, it is important to take safety measures, as abortion can cause significant harm to the body.The recovery of menstruation after an abortion can be as early as 13 days post-surgery and as late as 110 days. However, it generally occurs around 40 days. Post-abortion can lead to temporary menstrual irregularity. It is recommended to have a follow-up ultrasound at the hospital about one month after the procedure to check the recovery of the uterus and ensure that the abortion is complete.
