What to do if you don't want to have sex after 40 days of pregnancy

Many women who have unexpected pregnancies usually ask how many days into the pregnancy they need to wait before they can have an abortion because they are not prepared mentally, financially, etc. In fact, it takes at least 30 days of pregnancy to have an abortion, and there are many types of abortions. Professional hospitals will choose the appropriate abortion method based on the individual's pregnancy cycle and physical condition. The best time for abortion is 35-55 days of pregnancy, so if you want your body to repair quickly and reduce the risk of abortion, you should choose to have an abortion between 35 and 50 days of pregnancy.

Early abortion is a common remedy for contraceptive failure. When the embryo is still relatively small, the uterus is not large, and the placenta has not yet formed, the pregnancy can be terminated using curettage or vacuum aspiration.

The best time for abortion is generally before 9 weeks of pregnancy. However, to finally determine how long you can have an abortion, you also need to refer to some preoperative examination results. However, if the embryo is too large, or even has grown bones, it cannot be sucked out with the largest straw. In this case, you can only be hospitalized and induce labor with drugs or water bags, and then have the uterus cleaned after the embryo and most of the placenta are expelled.

If induction of labor fails, curettage is needed, which is to use an instrument to directly scrape the embryo and placenta out of the uterus. This operation is risky and can easily cause cervical injury and increased bleeding during the operation. It also increases the risk of infection, uterine injury, and postoperative intrauterine adhesions. Therefore, if you plan to terminate an unexpected pregnancy, try to do it within 2 months of pregnancy.

Things to note after abortion

If you don't take good care of yourself after an abortion, it can easily lead to various gynecological diseases. After the abortion, you should rest in bed for 2-3 days. Do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water within half a month to avoid catching cold. You should also eat more protein and vitamin-rich foods.

1. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. After the abortion, you should rest in bed for 2-3 days, then you can get out of bed and move around, gradually increasing the activity time. Do not engage in heavy physical labor or work in cold water within half a month after the abortion to avoid catching cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition, eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, bean products and fresh vegetables rich in vitamins to promote the repair of the endometrium.

2. Keep the vulva clean and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse. After an abortion, the cervix has not completely closed and the endometrium also has a repair process. During this period, special attention should be paid to keeping the vulva clean and hygienic. The sanitary napkins and underwear used should be washed and changed frequently. Do not take a sitz bath within half a month after the operation to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If you have sex too early after an abortion, it can easily cause acute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and may also lead to secondary infertility. Therefore, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after the abortion.

3. Observe the bleeding situation. If vaginal bleeding lasts for more than one week after an abortion, or is even accompanied by lower abdominal pain, fever, turbid and smelly leucorrhea, and other abnormal symptoms, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up visit in time.

4. Adhere to contraception. After abortion, the ovarian and uterine functions gradually recover, and the ovaries ovulate on schedule. If you do not persist in contraception, you will get pregnant again soon. Therefore, after an abortion, you should choose reliable contraceptive measures as soon as possible, and you must insist on contraception as the main method. You cannot use abortion as a contraceptive measure.
