How many days has it been since your miscarriage, and can you have sex?

Patient's question:

I had an abortion about one month and a few days ago. Can I have sex? Because my husband is about to go back to work and might be away for several months. I wanted to have sex before he leaves. But I'm worried about my body being weak.

Doctor's answer:

You have already had an abortion for more than a month. Generally, it is acceptable to have sexual intercourse during this stage, as the uterus has usually returned to normal. Typically, it is recommended not to have sexual intercourse within the first month after an abortion to avoid infections due to weakened immunity and the possibility of an accidental pregnancy. In your current situation, if there is no vaginal bleeding, you should be able to have sexual intercourse, but it is important to also take contraceptive measures.
