Patient's question:
Is it possible to get postpartum illness after cohabiting 9 days after a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after an abortion surgery, you should wait until your body has fully recovered before resuming sexual activity. This period is approximately 30 days. Engaging in sexual activity too soon can often lead to various gynecological diseases, which is very harmful to your health. Because an "abortion" involves a doctor using instruments to scrape out the embryonic tissue in the uterus to terminate the pregnancy. This artificial scraping can damage the endometrium, disrupt the natural immune defense of the female reproductive tract, and cause certain injuries and irritation to the uterus, making it more susceptible to infection. If sexual activity occurs shortly after the surgery, it increases the risk of infection, potentially leading to endometritis, salpingitis, and even infertility.Advice: After an abortion, it is essential to wait until your body has fully recovered before resuming sexual activity. It should also be noted that abortion is not a form of contraception but rather a measure to address contraceptive failure. Multiple abortions can lead to serious consequences such as ectopic pregnancy and infertility. Therefore, during marital sexual life, it is important to prioritize contraception and minimize harm to the body.
