Patient's question:
A week ago, I just had an abortion, but today I really want to have sex with my boyfriend. I hate the process of my boyfriend giving me oral sex, so I want to ask when can I have sex after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, it is necessary to refrain from sexual activity for at least one month. After an abortion, the endometrium is still fragile and needs time to heal. If sexual activity occurs at this time, it may lead to infections of the endometrium, salpingitis, and other gynecological inflammatory conditions. In severe cases, it may result in the inability to conceive. Additionally, after an abortion, a woman's immune system is weakened, making her more susceptible to illness. Sexual activity is physically demanding and can easily lead to kidney deficiency. After an abortion, one must take care of themselves as if they were recovering from childbirth and postpartum care.
