Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery in the hospital a few weeks ago, and after a few weeks of the surgery, I had sex with my boyfriend. Is it problematic to have sex within one month after an abortion? How much harm does it cause to the body? If it's significant, what kind of medication should I take to compensate?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, cohabitation is not allowed within half a month. If the body condition is good and it is less than half a month, cohabitation is possible, but there may be a chance of pregnancy. If you do not want to have a child, you can take the emergency contraceptive pill orally within 72 hours after cohabitation. During this period, it is important not to eat too much extremely cold and stimulating food. Before and after cohabitation, use warm water to rinse the external genitalia to prevent vaginal inflammation. The diet should be very light, with easily digestible soft foods as the basis.
