Wear a condom during sex on the seventh day after medical abortion

Abortion is a way to terminate a woman's pregnancy. Medical abortion is more suitable for women who are about 40 days pregnant. However, after medical abortion, women should refrain from having sexual intercourse for a short period of time. Some women say that it is okay to have sex with a condom on the seventh day after medical abortion. You should not have sexual intercourse within seven days after medical abortion. At this time, the uterus has not recovered well, and sexual intercourse will bring many adverse factors.

After a medical abortion, you need to refrain from having sex and taking a bath for six weeks. If having sex causes bleeding on the sixth or seventh day after the abortion, you can take hemostatic drugs. If there is no bleeding now, there is no need to worry too much. If you have had vaginitis before, it will take six weeks for your body to recover before you can apply medication into the vagina. You need to pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue.

How to avoid infection during medical abortion

(1) Prohibition of sexual intercourse: Some people bleed for a long time after medical abortion, some for a short time, and some for occasional bleeding. In either case, sexual intercourse is prohibited until menstruation occurs. Because the cervix is ​​in a relaxed state during medical abortion, its effect in preventing bacteria from entering the uterine cavity is weakened. During sexual intercourse, bacteria hidden in the male foreskin and bacteria in the female vulva, vagina, and cervix can take the opportunity to ascend and infect the uterine cavity; at the same time, the blood sinuses are open after the embryonic tissue is peeled off, making them easy to be infected by bacteria.

(2) Do not wash the basin, do not do vaginal douching, and do not swim within one month after medical abortion.

(3) Use sanitary napkins and toilet paper of qualified products; change sanitary napkins frequently; do not wear underwear made of synthetic fabrics; change and wash underwear every day.

(4) If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than 7 days, antibiotics should be taken under the guidance of a doctor to prevent infection. If bleeding continues for more than two weeks, you should go to the hospital to find out the cause and undergo a uterine curettage if necessary.

(5) Anyone who undergoes uterine curettage due to failed medical abortion, incomplete abortion, or heavy bleeding must take antibiotics after the operation.

(6) After medical abortion, you should also pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue. You can take blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs such as motherwort paste to promote uterine contraction, expel embryonic tissue, reduce vaginal bleeding, and shorten bleeding time.

(7) Pay attention to dietary adjustments. Eat more high-quality protein to strengthen your body, but don’t eat too much greasy food to prevent it from irritating your stomach.
