Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I had an abortion surgery 20 days ago. So I want to ask, can I have sex 20 days after an abortion? If I do, what bad things might happen? Is it very harmful to my body? Will it affect my future fertility?Doctor's answer:
About 20 days after an abortion surgery, it is not recommended to have sexual intercourse. The uterus and vagina may suffer some psychological trauma from the procedure, and most people need about a month to fully recover. If sexual intercourse occurs around the 20-day mark, it is highly likely to cause various infections. It may even exacerbate the psychological trauma in the uterine area, potentially slightly affecting future fertility.
