Can I get pregnant if I have sex one week after an abortion?

After an abortion, many people start having sex a week later. So, in this case, can a woman get pregnant? In fact, one week after the abortion, the female reproductive system has not fully recovered and ovulation has not returned to normal, so pregnancy is impossible. However, it is not recommended to get pregnant within a week after an abortion, as this is very harmful to women's health.

1. How long after abortion can you have sex?

Generally speaking, after an abortion, women should wait until their bodies have basically recovered before they can have sex. After an abortion, most women need two weeks for the lochia to be discharged, but the damage to the cervix and vagina usually takes about 6 weeks to recover.

After an abortion, women will experience a significant loss of physical strength and some changes in their mental state, all of which require a recovery period. After an abortion, the ovaries and uterus also need sufficient time to repair and adjust, so it is best to resume sexual intercourse 40 days after the abortion.

2. The harm of having sex too early after abortion

1. Induce gynecological diseases

Artificial abortion can cause damage to a woman's vagina and cervix. If you have sex too early, bacteria may be introduced into the vagina, causing various gynecological diseases, including endometritis, vaginitis, etc.

Abortion surgery is also commonly known as curettage, which can cause considerable damage to the endometrium. At this time, the female reproductive tract has basically lost its ability to resist various bacteria. If sexual intercourse is performed in a short period of time, it will greatly increase the chance of various infections, causing secondary damage to the endometrium.

2. Female infertility

After a woman has an artificial abortion, the endometrium becomes extremely thin and fragile. Once it encounters various pathogens, it can easily cause infection. During sexual intercourse, in addition to causing collisions with the endometrium, various pathogens will also be introduced, which will cause endometritis. Severe fallopian tube inflammation can also cause female infertility.

3. Other precautions after abortion

In addition to paying attention to their sexual life in the future, female friends actually need to pay attention to many other things. For example, they should pay attention to dietary nourishment after miscarriage, which has a great impact on women's physical health. Because miscarriage causes certain damage to the body and causes the loss of a certain amount of blood, coupled with the psychological stress and physical pain during the process, the body will be weaker after the miscarriage, and some people may even be prone to anemia. Therefore, proper nourishment is absolutely necessary, and the degree and duration of nourishment should be determined by comprehensive consideration of the abortion patient's physical condition and the amount of blood loss.
