Will I get pregnant if I have sex after 20 days of medical abortion?

When women accidentally become pregnant and consider having an abortion, more and more women are willing to choose to remove the embryo through medical abortion. However, no matter which abortion method is chosen, it will cause great harm to the female body and may even affect her future reproductive function. Therefore, it is very important for women to pay attention to physical conditioning after medical abortion. So if you have sex 20 days after a medical abortion, is there a possibility of pregnancy?

It is easy to get pregnant by having sex twenty days after medical abortion. However, it is best to have sex one month after abortion to prevent the occurrence of various gynecological diseases.

How long after medical abortion can I have sex?

After medical abortion, you should wait until your menstruation comes normally before having sex again. Because the endometrium is stripped by drugs, wounds are formed, which need some time to repair and restore physiological functions. Generally, the average time for menstruation to resume after medical abortion is about 33.8 days. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound one month after the abortion to check the recovery of the uterus and whether the abortion is complete. Only after confirming that the health standards have been met can you have sex again.

Sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within one month after medical abortion. After medical abortion, the endometrium is shed, the cervix relaxes, and the blood sinuses open after the embryonic tissue peels off, making them easy to be infected by bacteria. Having sex too early can lead to ascending infection or bleeding, causing various inflammations such as pelvic inflammatory disease, cervicitis, adnexitis, endometritis, etc. In severe cases, it can even affect future fertility.

Discomfort after sex

If you have sex after a medical abortion and experience abdominal pain, fever, yellow or odorous vaginal discharge, vulvar itching, and other discomforts, it is likely that the cause is an infection and you should go to the hospital's gynecology department for treatment in a timely manner.

Use contraception during intercourse

After a medical abortion, when you resume sexual intercourse, you must insist on contraception to avoid pregnancy again and harm to women. If you are considering having a child, it is recommended to wait 6 months after the medical abortion before getting pregnant. Otherwise, if you get pregnant too early, the probability of spontaneous abortion or pregnancy-related diseases is higher.
