Patient's question:
A while ago, I went to the small children's hospital my friend recommended for an abortion. The doctor who performed the procedure told me to rest for a week and eat some supplements. After the procedure, I felt that resting for a week might be too short. When I came home, my husband wanted to have sex again, but I refused. So, how long after an abortion can one have sex?Doctor's answer:
After artificial abortion, the body may become relatively weak. It is important to pay attention to postoperative body conditioning in the short term. At least one month should pass before sexual activity is resumed to avoid the possibility of infection from early sexual intercourse. The vagina may have some peeling after the abortion, so it is recommended to maintain good hygiene and avoid sexual activity in the short term. Regular follow-up checks should be conducted. If there are no abnormal conditions, sexual activity can be resumed one month later. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood.
