What should I do if I have sex one week after a miscarriage?

It is well known that women's bodies are very weak after miscarriage. Both artificial and natural miscarriages cause great damage to women's bodies. Therefore, it is not recommended to have sexual intercourse after miscarriage. However, once sexual intercourse occurs, it is necessary to remedy the situation in time because vaginal infection may occur. So, what should I do if I have sex one week after a miscarriage?

First, what should I do if I have sex one week after the abortion? It is not allowed to have sex too early after the abortion. That is because the bleeding after the abortion is not the natural shedding of the endometrium. The abortion operation sucks away all the endometrium within a few minutes. At this time, the blood vessels in the uterus are exposed to the outside. If infected, it will be more serious. Therefore, we require not to have sex for one month and have sex after the next menstruation. Although it does not mean that you will be infected after having sex once, women who have had an abortion should try not to have sex too early.

Secondly, after an abortion or miscarriage, the uterine wall peels off and needs 6-8 weeks to repair, so menstruation will be delayed and will take about 6-8 weeks or longer to return. Because the uterine wall peels off, the embryo cannot implant for various reasons, and pregnancy will not occur. There is no need to take birth control pills. As for the amount of bleeding or when menstruation returns, it depends on the damage to the uterine wall lining after the abortion. If bleeding occurs again or comes very late, it means that there is still blood congestion in the uterus, or the embryonic tissue has not been cleared, or the uterine wall is more damaged and needs more time to recover.

What should I do if I have sex one week after a miscarriage? Generally, you will not get pregnant, but there is a possibility of infection. Having sex too early after a miscarriage can cause a certain degree of damage to the endometrium. If you have sexual intercourse too early, the bacteria brought into the vagina can easily ascend and cause gynecological diseases such as endometritis. Therefore, it is better to have sexual intercourse one month after abortion to prevent intrauterine infection. If you have no discomfort symptoms now, it is recommended that you continue to observe without the need for preventive medication. If you experience abdominal pain, fever, yellow leucorrhea, odor or vulvar itching during the observation period, it is considered to be caused by infection and you need to go to the hospital's gynecology department for treatment in time.
