Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery at the hospital ten days ago because I didn't want to have children. But tonight, I had sexual intercourse with my husband, and afterward, I felt a slight, dull pain in my abdomen. So I want to ask, what are the harms to the body after having sex ten days after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After childbirth, it is generally recommended not to resume sexual activity within the first month. This is mainly because the immune system is relatively weak during this stage. Early resumption of sexual activity can increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections. Additionally, if no breastfeeding measures are taken during sexual activity, there is also a possibility of unintended pregnancy. Therefore, in your case, if you are experiencing mild abdominal pain again, you may consider using antibiotics to prevent inflammation and infection. At the same time, carefully monitor the next menstrual cycle. If the next period is delayed again, it will be necessary to visit a hospital for a thorough examination to rule out the possibility of another unintended pregnancy.
