Patient's question:
Friend has always wanted to do it, but she went to the hospital for an abortion a few weeks ago and has been thinking about it for a while. I'd like to understand how long after an abortion can one have sex?Doctor's answer:
After an artificial abortion, you can only resume sexual activity one month later. Immediately after the procedure, the cervix is very loose, and there may be bleeding in the vagina. Engaging in sexual activity during this time can easily lead to infection and the recurrence of pelvic inflammatory disease, which can significantly impact the patient's health. It is recommended to pay special attention to maintaining cleanliness of the external genitalia during this period. Sanitary napkins and other hygiene products, as well as underwear, should be washed and changed frequently.
