Patient's question:
Ten days ago, I went to the hospital for an abortion surgery because I have fully recovered quite well. Last night, I had sexual intercourse with my husband. Today, I heard from a colleague that having sex during the abortion period can lead to illness. So, I want to understand what will happen if I have sex 10 days after the abortion?Doctor's answer:
If a woman has sexual intercourse 10 days after an abortion, it is easy to cause vaginitis, cervicitis, and endometritis. Without contraception, the possibility of getting pregnant again could lead to very serious consequences. After an abortion, there should be at least one month before sexual intercourse. Having sex too soon has a very significant impact on the body. The main concern is that it can affect future fertility. If it leads to adhesions in the uterine cavity or fallopian tubes, it could be problematic.
