Bubble bath and post-abortion sex.

Question

I am on day 9 after my surgical abortion and I have decided to take a bubble bath which was forbidden to me at least the first 7 days. Is this dangerous? And when can I have safe sex? And can I really check the status of my IUD after 9 days? My post abortion booklet said that I should have my IUD checked after my period, but it has always been intermittent for the last 9 days. Do I really need to make an appointment with my doctor if I think everything is fine? Perfect

Hello Mrs, If your post-abortion recovery is going well, I don't see a problem with the bubble bath and sexual intercourse. If you have any doubts about your recovery, which may be presented by: pain, heavy bleeding or fever. Then it is better to see your doctor again. Concerning the IUD, I imagine that it was inserted during the abortion. However, I don't understand the question. Can you be more specific? If all is well. No need to consult a doctor. However, you should still have your IUD checked by your doctor after your next period or in 4 to 12 weeks after the IUD is inserted. This way, you can be sure that it is still in place, effective and safe.
