What are the dangers of having sex after abortion?

The harm of having sex after an abortion is very great, but some female friends are indifferent to this matter, so many people still choose to have sex after an abortion. We know that this will cause many harms. For example, men will bring bacteria into the vagina of female friends, causing gynecological diseases such as endometritis, and may even lead to infertility of female friends.

1. Having sex too early can cause bacteria brought into the vagina by men to easily ascend and cause gynecological diseases such as endometritis, and may even lead to female infertility. Therefore, female friends must not have sex too early after abortion, so as not to lose more than the gain. The functions of the female reproductive organs themselves can prevent pathogens from entering the interior. The vagina maintains an acidic environment, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of alkaliphilic bacteria. Because the environment in the vagina changes during abortion, these defense functions will be weakened accordingly, and bacteria can easily enter the uterine cavity and multiply therein.

2. For a period of time after an abortion, the trauma on the endometrium has not yet recovered, the cervical opening has relaxed, the original mucus plug in the cervix (which has the function of preventing bacteria from entering the uterine cavity) has been removed, and a new mucus plug has not yet formed. At this time, if you do not pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva, bacteria in the vagina can easily enter the uterine cavity and cause infection.

3. After artificial abortion, you should keep the vulva clean and hygienic, wash it with warm water 1-2 times a day, and change menstrual pads and straw paper frequently. Do not take a sitz bath within 2 weeks or before vaginal bleeding has stopped, and avoid sexual intercourse within 1 month to prevent genital organ infection. If you have fever, abdominal pain, or vaginal discharge with an unusual odor, it may be caused by infection and you should seek medical attention immediately.

4. After the placenta is separated during miscarriage, there may be a small amount of bleeding on the wound left on the uterine wall. In this case, as the uterus contracts and the wound repairs, vaginal bleeding will gradually stop within 3-5 days and will not exceed 10-15 days at most. If the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the amount of menstrual blood and lasts too long, you need to seek medical treatment promptly.

5. In most cases, the ovaries will resume ovulation in about one month after a miscarriage, followed by menstruation. Therefore, as soon as you resume your sexual life after an abortion, you must take contraceptive measures to avoid getting pregnant again. If you plan to use an IUD for contraception, you can insert the IUD at the same time as the abortion, because the success rate of the IUD is high, the shedding rate is low, and the side effects are few.

In the above, we have introduced in detail the dangers of having sex after abortion. This is a serious problem, so female friends must remember not to have sex at this stage, as it will cause great harm to themselves. However, if problems arise after having sex, we recommend that you go to a regular hospital for treatment in time to avoid more serious consequences.
