Is it okay to have sex one week after an abortion?

Many young female friends have to have abortions for various reasons. Abortion itself can cause great harm to the body. If improper care is taken or sexual activity is performed too early, it will make the body worse and may even lead to some serious gynecological diseases. So is it okay to have sex one week after an abortion? Let’s take a look at the explanation below to this question.

The hospital's gynecologist said: It is forbidden to have sexual intercourse for at least one month after a painless abortion, otherwise it may cause infection. 1. Sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month after the painless abortion surgery. This is because: women’s reproductive organs can be divided into two parts, the internal and external parts. Under normal circumstances, the functions of the female reproductive organs themselves can prevent pathogens from entering the interior. For example, the labia majora can cover the vaginal opening; the front and back walls of the vagina are tightly attached; the estrogen secreted by the ovaries and the mucus secreted by the endocervix form a mucus plug that blocks the cervical opening, etc. The vagina maintains an acidic environment, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of alkaliphilic bacteria. , The female uterus is severely damaged and needs time to recover

Today's painless abortion surgery has relieved many women of the worries of unwanted pregnancy, but any abortion surgery will more or less affect the female body. Experts from Yunnan Ren'ai Hospital said: This article introduces the causes of lower abdominal distension and pain after abortion, hoping to help women who are troubled by this after abortion.

Hemorrhage in the uterus after painless abortion Hemorrhage in the uterus

It often occurs within a few hours after the abortion. The patient suffers from unbearable abdominal pain, and gynecological examination reveals that the uterus is significantly enlarged, soft, and tender. At this time, immediate curettage is needed to clear the blood in the uterine cavity, and oxytocin and antibiotics should be given.

Uterine perforation after painless abortion

Uterine perforation is a very serious complication that occurs during abortion surgery. Most patients experience sudden and severe abdominal pain during perforation, but a small number of people may not feel any obvious pain. The abdominal pain caused by uterine perforation is persistent and there is a small amount of vaginal bleeding. If the perforation is small and there is no damage to internal organs such as the bladder and rectum, and there is no internal bleeding, conservative treatment can be used. If there is still residual tissue in the uterine cavity, uterine curettage can be performed after the condition has improved.

Infection after painless abortion

This is one of the most common short-term complications of abortion. Post-abortion infection often occurs within two weeks after the operation and can be directly caused by the abortion operation. It usually causes acute pelvic inflammatory disease, with severe abdominal pain that is persistent and may worsen in paroxysmal forms, accompanied by fever, chills, or yellow discharge. This is the main reason for lower abdominal distension and pain after abortion. During physical examination, the abdominal pain is resistant to pressure, and there is tenderness and rebound pain. Gynecological examination shows cervical lifting pain and uterine body tenderness, with obvious tenderness.
