What to do if you have bleeding during sex after medical abortion

After undergoing medical abortion, women should take good care of themselves, improve their diet, and keep their private parts clean. They can have sex at least one month after the abortion. If there is vaginal bleeding during sex, they should go to the hospital for a check-up in time to see if there is a gynecological problem. During this period, they should pay more attention to good conditioning to avoid aggravating the harm of the disease due to sexual intercourse.

1. General

The female reproductive organs are divided into two parts: internal and external. Under normal circumstances, the female reproductive organs themselves can prevent pathogens from entering the interior. For example, the labia majora can cover the vaginal opening, the front and back walls of a woman's vagina are tightly attached, and the mucus secreted by the cervical endometrium will form a mucus plug that blocks the cervical opening of the uterus. Under the influence of estrogen, the growth and reproduction of alkaliphilic bacteria can be prevented.

2. Special circumstances

Under special circumstances, when the environment in the vagina of women changes, these defense functions will be weakened, and pathogens can easily move upward and enter the uterine cavity and fallopian tube cavity, where they will grow and multiply and cause some diseases in women. For example, during menstruation, after artificial abortion and natural childbirth, there will be large areas of trauma left in the uterine cavity. At this time, the vaginal wall and the cervical opening will open, and the cervical mucus plug will disappear. In particular, the substances secreted by the cervix and uterine cavity are alkaline, which can change the acidic environment of the vagina, thereby leading to the reproduction of pathogens, which can cause infection to the female reproductive tract.

3. How long after medical abortion can you have sex?

You cannot have sex, take a sitz bath, or take vaginal medications within one month after an abortion, as the endometrium is shed and the cervix becomes loose after an abortion, which can easily lead to retrograde infection, intrauterine infection, adnexitis, and other pelvic diseases. Abnormal fertilized eggs, endocrine disorders, placental dysfunction, blood type incompatibility, maternal systemic diseases, excessive mental stimulation, reproductive organ malformations and inflammation, trauma, etc. can all lead to threatened abortion. It is recommended to find out the cause and treat it symptomatically first, and then consider conception after half a year. After an artificial abortion, it is best to wait until the next menstruation comes before having sex.
