Having sex one month after medical abortion

Sexual life is a normal thing for normal people. But for a woman who has a medical abortion, it is a very important thing. Generally speaking, women who have undergone medical abortion will not be able to have sexual intercourse until three months later. Because medical abortion is equivalent to a confinement period and it takes at least one month to recover. The body's uterus also needs a recovery period. So is it okay to have sex one month after medical abortion?

General

The female reproductive organs are divided into two parts: internal and external. Under normal circumstances, 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 a woman's vagina are tightly attached, and the mucus secreted by the cervical endometrium will form a mucus plug that blocks the cervical opening of the uterus. Under the influence of estrogen, the growth and reproduction of alkaliphilic bacteria can be prevented.

Special circumstances

Under special circumstances, when the environment in the vagina of women changes, these defense functions will be weakened, and pathogens can easily move upward and enter the uterine cavity and fallopian tube cavity, where they will grow and multiply and cause some diseases in women. For example, during menstruation, after artificial abortion and natural childbirth, there will be large areas of trauma left in the uterine cavity. At this time, the vaginal wall and the cervical opening will open, and the cervical mucus plug will disappear. In particular, the substances secreted by the cervix and uterine cavity are alkaline, which can change the acidic environment of the vagina, thereby leading to the reproduction of pathogens, which can cause infection to the female reproductive tract.

How long after medical abortion can I have sex?

You cannot have sex, take a sitz bath, or take vaginal medications within one month after an abortion, as the endometrium is shed and the cervix becomes loose after an abortion, which can easily lead to retrograde infection, intrauterine infection, adnexitis, and other pelvic diseases. Abnormal fertilized eggs, endocrine disorders, placental dysfunction, blood type incompatibility, maternal systemic diseases, excessive mental stimulation, reproductive organ malformations and inflammation, trauma, etc. can all lead to threatened abortion. It is recommended to find out the cause and treat it symptomatically first, and then consider conception after half a year. After an artificial abortion, it is best to wait until the next menstruation comes before having sex.

After medical abortion, it is best to have sex again after having a normal menstruation. It is recommended that you pay attention to strengthening your nutrition, rest and avoid overwork within 2 weeks after medical abortion. It is advisable to go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound examination 15 days after medical abortion to see whether the abortion is complete. There is a possibility of incomplete miscarriage with medical abortion. This is a routine check-up and you are advised to go. A small number of patients do not pay attention to hygiene or have sex after medical abortion. They swim or have sex when the amount of bleeding is small or the bleeding stops temporarily, which results in uterine cavity infection and endometritis. At this time, the patient's vaginal bleeding may not be heavy, but it may have a fishy smell, may be mixed with yellow secretions, or may be accompanied by dull pain in the lower abdomen. Treatment requires adequate antibiotics and the use of motherwort paste or Shenghua Tang to promote the expulsion of unexpelled embryonic tissue as soon as possible. After the inflammation is controlled, if B-ultrasound examination confirms that there is still residual tissue in the uterine cavity, curettage can be performed and anti-inflammatory treatment can be continued after the operation.
