Patient's question:
Around five months pregnant, the result showed that the child had a congenital disease. My husband and I were afraid the child would suffer if born, so we had an abortion in the end. However, my husband and I still want to have another child. When can we have sex? What should we pay attention to after having an abortion and having sex?Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, it is generally recommended to wait at least 4 weeks before having sexual activity. Or, during the first sexual activity, pay attention to breastfeeding, as it is advised to wait more than a year before getting pregnant again after a miscarriage. If the interval is too short and an accidental pregnancy occurs, it may very likely affect health. In these days, avoid eating extremely cold foods, observe any symptoms of frequent urination, and pay close attention to hygiene. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
