Patient's question:
I am 25 years old this year and pregnant, but I cannot keep the baby, so I chose to have an abortion. Please ask: can I have anal sex on the sixth day after the abortion?Doctor's answer:
No, sexual activity is not recommended within one month after an abortion, as it may lead to a recurrence of infection. During this period, it is strictly prohibited to take a bath, as it can also cause infection. It is important to maintain good hygiene and cleanliness in the perineum. Breastfeeding should be avoided for six months after an abortion to allow the endometrium time to heal. Additionally, in daily life, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to stay fit, and keep a positive mood. Good lifestyle habits also help in preventing diseases.
