Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for over a month and want to have an abortion in a few days. I'd like to ask if I can have sex before the abortion surgery?Doctor's answer:
An induced abortion is after all a surgical procedure involving trauma, so it is not recommended to have sexual intercourse before the procedure to avoid increasing the risk of infection. You need to undergo the induced abortion at a formal hospital. If you are undergoing a painless induced abortion, you must fast and avoid drinking for six hours before the surgery. After the abortion, you need to rest and can use antibiotics to prevent inflammation and infection. At the same time, you should avoid heavy physical labor for the first half month.
