Patient's question:
What should I do if I had sex 15 days after an abortion? I noticed a significant decrease in my physical fitness after a week of having an abortion.Doctor's answer:
Post-surgery, within one month, intercourse and pelvic soaking are strictly prohibited. Avoid heavy labor for half a month. If intercourse occurs within 15 days, it may easily lead to retrograde transmission of gynecological infections. During this time, the cervix remains open. It is recommended to maintain good hygiene habits, frequently wipe the external genitalia with warm water to keep the area clean and dry, change underwear and pants often, and wash the external genitalia with warm water daily to maintain hygiene.
