Patient's question:
Can women have sex before an abortion?Can women have sex before having an abortion?
Doctor's answer:
For 2-3 days before an abortion surgery, sexual activity is not allowed. This is because women's bodies are already weak in this period, and if sexual activity occurs, bacteria can be introduced into the vagina. If an abortion surgery is performed at this time, the uterine wound provides a direct opportunity for bacteria to multiply. This increases the risk of infection, leading to gynecological conditions such as cervical inflammation, pelvic inflammation, and vaginal inflammation, or even resulting in infertility.
