Patient's question:
Last night, my husband wanted to have sex with me, but I refused because I was always worried about the harm it might cause to my body. It's also not convenient to go to the hospital to ask a doctor. I'd like to ask how long after an abortion can one have sex?Doctor's answer:
Two weeks after the procedure, a follow-up check is required. Within one month after the procedure, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited. This is because the endometrium is damaged during the procedure, and its recovery requires a certain amount of time. Premature sexual activity, when the uterus has not fully recovered, may not only lead to tearing but also potentially cause inflammation and infection, resulting in conditions such as endometritis or pelvic inflammatory disease, and even pregnancy again. After the procedure, it is important to rest and enhance nutrition to ensure a faster recovery.
