Je, unaweza kushika mimba siku chache baada ya kutoa mimba?
Swali la msingi
Habari daktari, Eti kama mtu ametoa mimba na damu zikatoka zikakata yaani siku 7 . Je, akishiriki tendo la ndoa atapata ujauzito?
Majibu
Ndiyo, inawezekana kupata ujauzito ikiwa mtu atashiriki tendo la ndoa baada ya kutoa mimba, hata kama damu zilikuwa zimetoka na zikakata ndani ya siku 7.
Hii ni kwa sababu:
Hali ya mwili hurudi kawaida haraka: Uovuleshaji (yaani yai kutoka kwenye ovari) inaweza kuanza tena ndani ya wiki 2 baada ya kutoa mimba, hasa kama mimba ilikuwa ya mapema (Kipindi cha kwanza cha ujauzito.
Mbegu za mwanaume hukaa hai kwa siku 3–5: Kama mtu atashiriki tendo la ndoa karibu na ovulation, kuna uwezekano wa kushika mimba tena.
Kukoma kwa damu si dalili ya kuwa hauwezi kushika mimba: Kukoma kwa damu ni sehemu ya kupona kwa mwili, lakini hauzuii yai kuanza tena kuzalishwa.
Kwa hiyo, kama hutaki kupata ujauzito tena mara moja, ni muhimu kutumia njia ya uzazi wa mpango (kama kondomu, vidonge, sindano, n.k.) hata kama damu zimeshaisha baada ya kutoa mimba.
