Patient's question:
Does having sex after an abortion cause significant harm? Is it dangerous? Does an abortion affect future fertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Within two weeks after the abortion, although the lochia has already stopped, the endometrial trauma has not fully healed. If sexual intercourse is conducted too early, bacteria introduced into the vagina can easily ascend, causing gynecological diseases such as endometritis. Therefore, it is better to wait for one month after the abortion before resuming sexual activity to prevent intrauterine infection. If the lochia persists after the surgery, it is necessary to seek medical examination and treatment, and sexual activity should also be postponed.Abortion has little impact on future fertility.
