Patient's question:
A while ago, because we didn't take good care of things, I got pregnant. Then I had an abortion. But just nine days after the abortion, we wanted to have sex again, but we were afraid. We didn't know what might happen. I really want to know if it's okay to have sex nine days after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Absolutely not. After an abortion surgery, the doctor should have clearly informed you that sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one month. Don't indulge in the pleasures of the moment, as the consequences of infertility or sterility in the future will leave you regretting it too late. Your body is your own—please take care of it. After the procedure, it's essential to receive appropriate anti-inflammatory treatment, strictly avoid tub baths, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Engage in light activities, get plenty of rest, and return to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound around one week after the surgery.
