What should I do if I get pregnant after taking birth control pills?

It is a very common phenomenon if you get pregnant after taking birth control pills. Because birth control pills cannot guarantee 100% success in contraception, some female friends will experience this kind of unexpected pregnancy. After it happens, you should promptly confirm whether you are pregnant. After the diagnosis, you can use medical abortion and surgical abortion for treatment, so as to achieve the effect of terminating the pregnancy.

Currently, there are three common abortion surgeries for unexpected pregnancies: medical abortion, traditional curettage, and superconducting visual painless abortion.

Medical abortion

It is necessary to understand the indications and contraindications of early pregnancy, and to rule out ectopic pregnancy through auxiliary examinations and determine the gestational age. There is usually two weeks of preparation time before medical abortion, but even so it cannot completely achieve the goal. About 20% of patients have to undergo uterine curettage again.

Curettage

Since curettage is a vaginal surgery, some postoperative infection is inevitable. This type of surgery relies entirely on the doctor's experience to perform curettage or aspiration, and the progress of the operation cannot be seen, so you must find an experienced doctor. Otherwise, the operation cannot be performed safely and thoroughly, resulting in incomplete abortion and missed aspiration, and a second operation will have to be performed, causing greater pain to the patient. Even the endometrium of many patients will be severely damaged, which can cause female infertility in severe cases.

Painless abortion

This technology is used while the patient is sleeping, thus avoiding complications such as uterine perforation, incomplete abortion, missed aspiration, abortion syndrome, etc. caused by tension, fear, and struggle. Moreover, the entire surgical process is completed under the supervision of a monitor, so the operation can be completed quickly, safely and thoroughly under visual conditions, minimizing the damage to the endometrium of early pregnant women. However, attention must be paid to the risks of anesthesia, so the operation must be performed in a hospital with the necessary conditions, and the patient should not eat or drink for more than 6 hours before the operation.

Painless abortion is suitable for early pregnant women who are within 13 weeks of pregnancy and in good health, with no abnormalities in vaginal discharge, blood routine examinations, etc., no history of drug allergies, and no liver, kidney, cardiovascular and endocrine diseases.

Sexual intercourse should be avoided within one week before the abortion. You should take a shower and change clothes one day before the operation to avoid catching a cold. You should fast or drink some sugar water on the morning of the operation. If the body temperature exceeds 37.5℃, the operation should be performed on another day. During the operation, you should cooperate closely with the doctor and do not be overly nervous. After a miscarriage, you should rest in the observation room for about half an hour, pay attention to bleeding or other conditions, and leave only if there are no abnormalities. No bathing within two weeks or until the blood is cleared

Sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month; if there are no contraindications, an intrauterine contraceptive device can be placed at the same time; if there are any abnormal conditions, seek medical treatment at any time, and follow up once a month. Generally speaking, whether it is a medical abortion or a surgical abortion, it is best to wait one year before getting pregnant again.
