Patient's question:
My girlfriend had an abortion without anesthesia a week ago because she accidentally got pregnant. We don't have the financial resources to support a child's life, but recently I've been feeling a bit better, so I want to verify if it's okay to have sex a week after an abortion without anesthesia?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion without pain, sexual activity should not be resumed for one week. You've also undergone a surgical procedure, so you can't be careless. If the time is too short after the procedure, it may lead to illness. Generally, sexual activity should not be resumed for one month after an abortion to prevent the risk of increasing the likelihood of gynecological infections. Rest more during the day, avoid overexertion, pay attention to hygiene to prevent infection, drink more hot water, and avoid spicy foods.
