What are the dangers of having sex half a month after an abortion?

Many young men and women do not pay attention to their bodies. After an abortion, women may have sex when they think they have behaved well and there are no more problems. Many female friends want to know whether having sex half a month after an abortion will have any effect on the body, and what harm will it cause?

After a miscarriage, sexual intercourse, sitz baths, vaginal douching and medication are prohibited before menstruation occurs. Because the cervix relaxes, the endometrium sheds, and the local defense ability decreases at this time, it is easy to cause retrograde infection, resulting in pelvic inflammation such as endometritis and adnexitis, which can cause infertility in severe cases.

So after the flow, you should pay attention to the following points:

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 early repair of damaged organs.

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 sexual intercourse 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.

According to the above explanation, sexual intercourse should be resumed one month after the abortion and after proper rest. Female friends who have undergone abortion should protect their bodies and avoid sexual intercourse after abortion, so as to avoid leaving hidden dangers to their bodies and causing unpleasant things in the future!
