Patient's question:
23rd Qing Palace. But that day was the 2nd when it was done. Although it only took a few minutes. And these past few days, I've felt something strange down there. It's a bit sour, not painful, just that. But the area around the uterus feels a bit swollen and painful, and it's still like that now. I don't know what could be causing this? Also, will this procedure cause pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
After an induced abortion, the uterus needs a corresponding recovery period. Generally, a woman's ovaries regain ovulation function about 22 days after the procedure, and the uterus requires approximately one month to restore to its normal state. It is usually recommended to wait at least one month before resuming sexual activity after an induced abortion. Engaging in sexual activity too soon can easily lead to infection and may also increase the risk of pregnancy. If sexual activity is resumed after an induced abortion, it is essential to consistently practice contraception and choose reliable contraceptive methods to prevent pregnancy. Early sexual activity after an induced abortion can lead to various gynecological conditions, such as cervicitis, cervical erosion, endometritis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. It may also affect future fertility, potentially leading to miscarriage or infertility. If any discomfort arises, it is necessary to seek medical attention, undergo a check-up to identify the cause, and follow the doctor's advice for treatment.
