What to do if you have sex after abortion

Abortion surgery causes great trauma to the uterine wall and has a significant impact on the ovaries. The time for the uterine wall wound to repair is about 15 days. Scarring and shedding will occur within 15 days, which will prevent the cervix from closing tightly. In addition, some young women may have ovulation recovery in about 15 days. But what if you have sex after an abortion?

After the abortion, the doctor will tell the patient not to have sex for one month.

Generally speaking, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after an abortion. The key consideration is that the damage to the uterine wall has not yet recovered, and sexual intercourse may cause intrauterine infection, resulting in vaginitis or uterine inflammation, which will harm women's reproductive health. Having sex 20 days after an abortion, or earlier, may cause intrauterine infection and affect uterine repair. If you feel pain or discomfort in your abdomen, you must take antibiotics immediately, such as erythromycin, doxycycline hydrochloride, etc.

If uterine trauma is not repaired and intercourse occurs too early, inflammation of the uterine wall will increase, and in severe cases, it may lead to salpingitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. If it is inflammation, most patients will have fever, lower abdominal pain, and abnormal leucorrhea. The patient's symptoms should be observed to determine whether there is any inflammatory infection. If the contraceptive method is not properly taken, the next pregnancy may occur subsequently. At this time, no matter where the child goes, the harm to the patient will be very great, so the doctor's instructions must be strictly followed.

Under normal circumstances, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after abortion, because the uterine wall has not yet recovered at this time, and sexual intercourse too early may cause endometritis. Therefore, if intercourse is carried out 20 days after abortion, it is recommended to take antibiotics orally or intravenously to prevent infection, such as intravenous drip of cephalosporin antibiotics or ornidazole. And because the ovulation period will resume half a month after the abortion, it is recommended to take contraceptive pills within 72 hours after having sex 20 days after the abortion.
