Patient's question:
Hello. I have had an abortion without anesthesia, and it has been seven days today. This morning, I had sex with my husband. Will I get pregnant? I didn't go in very deep during sex.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is necessary to avoid sexual activity within one month after an induced abortion. The uterus needs a recovery period after the procedure. If sexual activity occurs during this time, it may introduce bacteria, leading to reproductive organ infection and inflammation. Approximately 22 days after an induced abortion, the ovaries restore their ovulation function. If no contraceptive measures are taken during sexual activity, pregnancy is still possible. It is recommended to use effective contraception and monitor changes in menstruation. Generally, menstruation will return within about a month, although some may experience a delay of a few days. In most cases, menstruation occurring within 40 days is considered normal. It is advisable to wait for clear confirmation and consider a follow-up visit to the hospital to observe uterine recovery. Wishing you good health!
