Patient's question:
I had an abortion without anesthesia on December 6th. On the 20th day, I had sex with my boyfriend and was afraid of getting pregnant again, so I took emergency contraception. Up to now, my period hasn't arrived. Starting today, my lower abdomen is very bloated. What should I do? Could it be that the abortion wasn't clean? Will it affect me in the future? Is anyone online? UrgentDoctor's answer:
Post-abortion, sexual activity is prohibited for one month: Abortion stimulates and damages the uterus and endometrium, disrupting the natural defense capabilities of the female reproductive tract, making it easy to induce infection. If sexual activity occurs shortly after the surgery, the risk of infection increases, leading to reproductive system inflammation and potentially causing infertility.
