Can I still have the painless abortion surgery if I had intercourse the day before?
I'm scheduled to have a painless abortion tomorrow, but I couldn't resist having intercourse with my boyfriend last night. Now I'm really worried—can I still proceed with the surgery as planned?

Pain-free artificial abortion refers to painless induced abortion. Generally, sexual intercourse the day before a painless induced abortion is not recommended.
Prior to a painless induced abortion, a comprehensive physical examination is usually required to ensure the woman's body is in a condition suitable for surgery. During this process, the vaginal environment should be kept adequately clean. Sexual intercourse might introduce bacteria into the vagina, which could then enter the uterine cavity through surgical instruments during the procedure, leading to postoperative infections such as endometritis or pelvic inflammatory disease. These complications can not only affect the surgical outcome but also have long-term impacts on a woman's reproductive health.
It is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse for three days before undergoing a painless induced abortion. Patients should communicate thoroughly with their doctor about all relevant circumstances before surgery, including whether there has been any sexual activity and whether there are any discomforts or symptoms. If the doctor's examination reveals an infection or an unsuitable vaginal environment for surgery, appropriate treatment should be carried out under the doctor's guidance, and the surgery should be postponed until the body has recovered.
