How long after an abortion can I have sex?

Generally speaking, after a painless abortion, if you have sex too early, it will easily cause infection by some bacteria, which is especially detrimental to the recovery of women after surgery. This is mainly because after an abortion, the woman's uterus will suffer a very serious damage and it will take a long time to recover. Bacteria like to take advantage of the woman's weak body to invade. So how long after a painless abortion can you have sex?

Within one month after the painless abortion surgery, the woman's uterus is severely damaged and needs time to recover. If a woman has sexual intercourse during this period, it will affect the recovery of the woman's body and may also cause bacterial infection. In severe cases, it will still affect the woman's fertility. After the operation, you should also pay attention to keeping the vulva clean and avoid sexual intercourse within one month; observe postoperative bleeding; insist on contraception; pay attention to rest and increase nutrition.

For a period of time after the painless abortion, the trauma on the endometrium has not yet recovered, the cervical opening is relaxed, the original mucus plug in the cervix has been removed, and a new mucus plug has not yet formed. If you do not pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva at this time, bacteria in the vagina can easily enter the uterine cavity and cause infection. After painless 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 the vaginal bleeding has stopped. Do not have 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, so seek medical attention immediately. In most cases, the ovaries will resume ovulation in about a month after a painless abortion, followed by menstruation. Therefore, as soon as you resume your sexual life after the painless abortion surgery, you must take contraceptive measures to avoid getting pregnant again. If you are planning to use an IUD for contraception, you can have it inserted at the same time as the painless abortion, because the success rate of IUD insertion is high, the risk of shedding is low, and there are fewer side effects.

Diet after abortion

To choose a suitable diet, food should be easy to digest, especially foods rich in various vitamins and trace elements, such as various vegetables, fruits, beans, eggs, meat, etc. People with weak gastrointestinal function should be cautious when eating cold foods, such as mung beans, white fungus, lotus seeds, etc. People with yin deficiency and excessive fire should be cautious when eating foods that are easy to cause internal heat, such as rooster, beef, dog meat, carp, etc. Pay attention to iron supplementation (beef, lean meat, liver, kidney, egg yolk, blood, green vegetables, and fruits are rich in iron), and ensure adequate protein intake.

Pregnant women who undergo abortions are highly nervous and experience labor pains caused by the suction of the uterine cavity by the catheter, which can easily lead to increased sympathetic nerve excitability, increased adrenal secretion, and great energy consumption. The mother's endometrium will inevitably be damaged. After the operation, you must strengthen your self-care.
