Patient's question:
Got pregnant six months after getting married to my husband, but I'm not really ready for a child yet, so I had an abortion. I want to ask, can I have sex after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, it is important to rest and avoid staying up late or overexerting yourself. For one month after the procedure, sexual activity should be avoided. It is recommended to rest in bed for three to seven days. The diet should be light and easy to digest, with a focus on high-protein and high-vitamin foods such as milk, eggs, fish, and poultry. Fresh vegetables and fruits should be consumed in abundance, while avoiding raw, cold, and spicy foods. Generally, sexual activity is not advisable within the first month after an abortion, as it may hinder uterine recovery and increase the risk of gynecological infections. It is advisable to eat nutritious foods and minimize the consumption of spicy, foods.
