What should I do if I had sex the day before my abortion?

Before having an artificial abortion, you must be careful not to eat or drink, and most importantly, not to have sexual intercourse. Because the female uterus and vagina must be kept clean before surgery, otherwise the vagina or uterus may become infected after the surgery, which will increase the time it takes for the uterus to recover and may also cause more diseases. Let’s take a look at what to do if you have sex the day before an abortion?

Sexual intercourse should be prohibited three days before an abortion, because having sex before the operation may lead to postoperative infection. The instruments used in the abortion operation must pass through the vagina and the cervix into the uterine cavity. The endometrium is severely damaged after suction. Having sex before the operation may cause pathogenic microorganisms to enter the uterine cavity and cause endometritis. However, this is only a possibility of infection, not a certainty.

If you have already had sex and had an abortion, then just observe closely. If you have persistent abdominal pain, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, bleeding for more than ten days, or even fever, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

It is best not to have sex with the opposite sex before having an abortion, because it is easy to get pelvic inflammatory disease and uterine bleeding after having sex, and such results will often have a certain impact on the operation. Normally, women are not allowed to have sex within 7 days before an abortion. This is to prevent uterine infection after sex. Women are weaker after an abortion, their body resistance is reduced, and abortion can cause trauma to the uterus, which creates favorable conditions for bacteria. Therefore, it is recommended that patients do not have sex the day before an abortion. If you have had sex, you can make an appointment for another time for the surgery. If time does not permit, in order to avoid infection, you should pay attention to anti-inflammatory treatment after the abortion.
