What should I do if I have sex 3 days after an abortion?

For women who have an unexpected pregnancy, the only solution is to have an abortion, whether it is medical abortion or artificial abortion, both are feasible. However, each abortion method has its advantages and disadvantages. Take medical abortion as an example. It is relatively convenient to implement. You only need to take the medicine on time. However, medical abortion may also be unclean. So, what should I do if I have sex 3 days after abortion?

Sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month after an abortion, because at this time the cervix relaxes, the endometrium sheds, and the local defense ability decreases, which can easily cause retrograde infection and cause pelvic inflammation such as endometritis and adnexitis. In severe cases, it can cause infertility. If you have sexual intercourse within one month after the abortion, it is recommended to be closely observed. As long as there is no infection, it is not a big deal. If there are obvious abnormalities, go to the hospital in time.

Having sex too early after an abortion can cause many harms, because after both artificial abortion and natural childbirth, a large area of ​​wounds will be left in the uterine cavity. At the same time, the vaginal wall and cervical opening will be opened, and the cervical mucus plug will disappear. In particular, the secretions of the cervix and uterine cavity are alkaline, which changes the acidic environment of the vagina and makes it easy for pathogens to multiply. Therefore, sexual intercourse and bathing should be strictly prohibited within one month after an artificial abortion and within 42 days after delivery to prevent pathogens from entering the reproductive organs.
