Patient's question:
On February 14th, I had an abortion surgery, and I've been having continuous discharge until now. About ten days after the surgery, I went for a follow-up check-up and was told that the recovery was going well, and they drained some blood clots. I had severe lower abdominal pain. On the 20th day, I had sexual intercourse. Will this have any impact? It was external ejaculation, will I get pregnant again? Can I take birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
The uterus needs to return to its normal size after an abortion procedure through contractions. If your abdominal pain is intermittent, it is contractions, which are normal. Rest and keep warm.Recommendations:
Hello, if you experience persistent abdominal pain or abnormal discharge with a foul odor, seek medical attention promptly. Persistent pain accompanied by foul-smelling discharge may indicate pain caused by inflammation. You should visit the hospital for examination to confirm if it is inflammation and receive timely treatment. Pay attention to perineal hygiene to prevent secondary infections that could lead to pelvic inflammatory disease. A follow-up examination is recommended one month after the abortion or after your next menstrual period.
