Patient's question:
Five days after an abortion, there was still some bleeding, and she had sexual intercourse. The next day after intercourse, the bleeding stopped. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, sexual activity should be avoided for one month. Due to the open cervix after a miscarriage, the function of preventing bacteria from entering the uterine cavity is weakened. Additionally, since blood sinuses open after the detachment of embryonic tissue, it is easy to cause infection.Advice: It is recommended that you closely monitor your condition and seek medical attention promptly if you experience any discomfort. In fact, under normal circumstances, any method of induced abortion can cause certain harm to the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Patients undergoing induced abortion should focus on self-care, such as proper dietary regulation and maintaining warmth to avoid catching a cold.
