Patient's question:
That night, I had sex with my husband without wearing a condom because it was too distracting. Later, I realized I was pregnant, but since I didn't want a child so soon, I went to the hospital for an abortion. It has been over ten days now, but my husband has a strong sex drive. I want to ask how I should handle this when he wants to have sex after an abortion.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your questions. Under normal circumstances, it is not advisable to have sexual intercourse for one month after an abortion. Sexual activity can increase vaginal bleeding and discharge, and a shorter recovery time may lead to infections and a higher risk of endometriosis. Since you do not want to have children now and are considering sexual intercourse at such an early stage, it is crucial to take proper protective measures to prevent the possibility of getting pregnant again. Additionally, severe infections can lead to future tubal adhesions, endometrial inflammation, and infertility.
