Patient's question:
I had an abortion without anesthesia twenty days ago, and the wound was relatively small at that time. Last night, I had sex with my husband, and today I also took a birth control pill. Should there be any impact?Doctor's answer:
Generally, after a miscarriage, it is recommended to avoid sexual activity for 1 month and use contraception for 3-6 months. This is because incomplete miscarriage is difficult to distinguish from a subsequent pregnancy, and it is not easy to handle after becoming pregnant, which adds trouble for both doctors and patients.Recommendation: Your current situation may be suitable for using emergency contraception to address it. However, the side effects of emergency contraception include:
1. Mild gastrointestinal reactions
2. Headache, dizziness, fatigue
3. Breast tenderness
4. Possible spotting after the insertion of an intrauterine device
5. Delayed or advanced next menstrual period. Please make a cautious decision after understanding this information.
