Patient's question:
I had an abortion a week ago. When I returned to the hospital, the nurse told me not to have sex after an abortion. But now my blood has stopped, and my boyfriend wanted me yesterday, and I didn't get angry at him. I want to cheer him up today. Why can't I have sex after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Within half a month after an abortion, sexual activity is not recommended. Because the body is weak and immunity is reduced after an abortion, and the endometrium is damaged to some extent. If sexual intercourse occurs, it is easy to cause reproductive tract infections and affect the complete recovery of the uterus. Therefore, sexual intercourse should not take place after an abortion. Make sure your boyfriend understands this, for the sake of health, it should be acceptable. After an abortion, spicy, stimulating, and cold foods should not be eaten.
