How long after medication abortion can you have sex?

Patient's question:

Medication abortion for fifteen days is really very difficult. My husband is also very curious about how long after medication abortion can one have sexual intercourse?

Doctor's answer:

The time spent sharing a room after medication is usually 30 days. The endometrium and hormone levels in the body may also be disrupted. Although an ultrasound examination after D&C may show that the uterus is normal, its function and endocrine function take at least three months to fully recover. This is why irregular menstruation may be delayed or advanced, or the menstrual flow may increase or become heavier in the first month or several months after D&C. Everything will be fine when the hormone levels in the body gradually return to normal. In addition to strictly prohibiting sharing a room, it is also strictly forbidden to soak in water or wash the vagina within one month after the medication flows out. After one month of medication abortion, a follow-up examination should be performed to ensure that the reproductive system has fully recovered and is in good condition before normal sexual activity can be resumed.
