Patient's question:
Hello, I am 29 years old. Recently, I accidentally got pregnant and it has been over a month now. I am planning to have an abortion. Before the abortion surgery, can I have sex?Doctor's answer:
Having sexual intercourse before an abortion procedure will definitely increase the likelihood of bacteria entering the uterine cavity and also enhance the risk of uterine infection. If you have scheduled an anesthesia-free abortion, it is not recommended to have sexual activity beforehand, as it can easily lead to a recurrence of infection. For your health and safety, do not have sexual intercourse one week before the abortion surgery. Pay close attention to hygiene. Additionally, you cannot have sexual intercourse within 42 days after the abortion procedure. After a miscarriage, it is advisable to consume foods that are rich in nutrients to aid recovery.
