How long after intercourse can I take birth control pills?

Patient's question:

I had an abortion surgery two weeks ago without anesthesia. Now my body feels like it has recovered quite a bit. Can I have sexual intercourse? How long after an abortion can I take birth control pills? I just took one, and I should be fine, right? What will happen?

Doctor's answer:

Two weeks after the procedure, the flow of people has already returned to normal. However, this is actually the wrong idea. Most doctors will advise their patients not to engage in sexual activity within one month after the procedure, because the uterus can only return to normal after one month. Early sexual activity not only increases the risk of accidental pregnancy but may also lead to various gynecological diseases. However, since it has happened again and you have taken medication in a timely manner, please wait and see carefully.
