Patient's question:
Hello, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound checkup one week after having an abortion without anesthesia. The doctor said there was no blood clots inside, but it would start bleeding in a few days, not much. Later, I rested for 10 days and then had sexual intercourse. Is there a significant issue?Doctor's answer:
Within one month after an abortion, cohabitation is prohibited, otherwise it is easy to cause infection, leading to conditions such as endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease. This not only affects health but may also impact future fertility. It is better to wait for at least six months after an abortion before trying to conceive. If done too early, it may lead to miscarriage or increase the risk of placenta previa and placenta adhesion. There are many causes of natural miscarriage, including immunological factors, genetic factors, infectious factors, endocrine factors, and anatomical factors.
