What happens if you have sex less than a month after giving birth?

Patient's question:

On January 22nd, I had an abortion. After about half a month, there wasn't much bleeding anymore. Then on February 12th, I had sexual intercourse with my husband, but we used a condom, and after the intercourse, I also cleaned my vaginal area. After that, we haven't had intercourse since. I want to know what will happen if I have sexual intercourse less than a month after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

It is okay to have sex after a miscarriage half a month later. If you have sex within one month, it generally has no impact on your health, but there is a possibility of getting pregnant. If you do not want to get pregnant, you can use a condom for breastfeeding or take emergency contraception pills within three days after having sex. The earlier you take the emergency contraception pills, the better the effect on breastfeeding. Avoid getting cold during this period.
