Patient's question:
I had an abortion last month on the 28th. Since I live with my boyfriend, we had sex once a month. I didn't feel any discomfort, but I always felt uneasy. I don't know when to do a follow-up check. My period hasn't come yet. Would having sex once a month within a month lead to infertility in the future?Doctor's answer:
Post-abortion surgery, sexual activity is strictly prohibited within one month. Otherwise, it is easy to cause uterine cavity infection, vaginal infection, and other infectious diseases. If you have symptoms such as abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, or fever, you should seek medical attention promptly from a formal hospital for symptomatic treatment. If there are no symptoms, it may not be a problem. Sexual activity is not allowed within one month after an abortion, as it is easy to contract gynecological diseases. The post-abortion period is the weakest time for a woman's lower body defense system, making it the most susceptible to infections. Currently, you should focus on daily cleaning of the external genitalia and seek medical attention promptly if you experience any discomfort.
