Does a medication abortion still cause coitus after the procedure?

Patient's question:

A while ago, I accidentally got pregnant. After being pregnant for about a month, since the pregnancy wasn't long, I went to the hospital and took medication to have a miscarriage. It has been two weeks now, and there is no longer any broken skin in the lower body. Doctor, can I have sexual intercourse after a medication-induced miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. After a month of medication-induced abortion, you should not have sexual intercourse until your next menstrual period is completely clean. Premature sexual intercourse can lead to infections because, although there is no bleeding after medication-induced abortion, your endometrium has not fully recovered. Additionally, if sexual intercourse occurs again, you must use contraception, as it can easily lead to pregnancy again. You should avoid sexual intercourse altogether; sexual intercourse is only recommended one month after medication-induced abortion.
Moreover, patients should develop a regular sleep schedule and maintain a healthy lifestyle. It is important to adhere to treatment, follow a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
