Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 25 years old. I had an abortion a week ago and had sex with my husband. Now I'm a bit worried about getting pregnant, so I came here specifically to ask the doctor. Will I get pregnant if I have sex a week after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to clarify this for you. One week after an abortion, it is not possible to get pregnant because it usually takes about 22 days after the procedure for menstruation to cease. However, one week post-abortion, the wound on the endometrium has not yet healed, and the cervix is also (relaxed). The body's resistance is also relatively low at this time, making sexual intercourse more likely to cause inflammation and infection. Therefore, sexual activity is strictly prohibited within one month after an abortion.There are many methods for treating diseases, but since each patient's condition is different, the treatment approach must be tailored accordingly. Therefore, patients need to seek professional medical advice as soon as possible for a thorough examination to determine the appropriate treatment.
