Can I have sex if there is still bleeding one week after the abortion?

Medical abortion, also known as medication abortion, is a relatively common method of abortion for women in early pregnancy. However, medical abortion is not a good thing for women. After medical abortion, many women will experience vaginal bleeding. If this phenomenon exists, then you must not have sex. Below we will introduce in detail the dangers and main issues of medical abortion.

1. The harm of medical abortion

1. Cause inflammation: Since the embryonic sac tissue in the uterine cavity can be discharged on the same day after medical abortion, sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not completely discharged, the uterine membrane is not restored well, and the vaginal bleeding time is longer, which can last for 2-3 weeks or even 1-2 months. Long-term chronic blood loss can cause anemia and reduce the body's resistance. At this time, bacteria often travel back through the vagina and cause inflammation of the endometrium.

2. Low success rate: In recent years, there have been many cases of infertility and gynecological inflammation caused by going to the hospital for curettage surgery due to poor abortion results from medical treatment. Mifepristone, which is used for medical abortion, has only been around for a little over a decade, and clinical trials are not sufficient. The success rate is only 75%.

3. Cause infertility: Medical abortion can easily lead to fallopian tube blockage and cervical adhesion, causing infertility; unclean medical abortion and improper uterine curettage can also cause infertility; medical abortion causes excessive damage to the uterus and ovaries, and is therefore also one of the causes of infertility.

2. Precautions before medical abortion

1. Perform B-ultrasound examination before medical abortion to rule out ectopic pregnancy and understand the size and position of the embryonic sac to help determine whether medical abortion is suitable.

2. Medical abortion can only be performed on women who conceived within 50 days of amenorrhea and are under 34 years old.

3. Be in good physical condition and have no contraindications. The so-called contraindications include: past or current severe systemic diseases, liver and kidney dysfunction, allergic constitution, heart disease, hypertension, anemia, asthma, glaucoma, skin itching during pregnancy, etc.

4. Go to a hospital with emergency treatment, curettage, blood transfusion and infusion facilities for medical abortion, and observe carefully to prevent any accidents.

5. Strictly following the doctor's orders and returning for follow-up visits on time are important precautions before medical abortion. Today, when medical abortion has become a trend, the precautions before medical abortion are also very complex and necessary. Therefore, before using medical abortion, you must fully understand the precautions before using medical abortion.

3. Precautions after medical abortion

1. After the tissue is discharged, you need to stay in the hospital for observation for 1 hour. If the vaginal bleeding is not too much, you can go home and rest.

2. Get adequate rest within 2 weeks after miscarriage, eat nutritious food, and avoid heavy physical labor.

3. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the perineum. Do not take a bath or have sexual intercourse when vaginal bleeding has not stopped.

4. In the first 2 to 3 days after abortion, the amount of vaginal bleeding is generally equivalent to or slightly more than the menstrual amount. If the amount of vaginal bleeding is heavy or persistent, seek medical attention promptly.

5. Patients with no tissue discharge should be observed for 2 weeks after taking the medicine, and attention should be paid to whether there is any tissue discharge during defecation and urination. Weekly urine pregnancy tests.

6. Ovulation may resume soon after miscarriage, so contraceptive measures should be taken to avoid pregnancy again.
