Patient's question:
About ten days have passed since the abortion. Now, every night, she keeps pestering me to have sex. I don't really understand my body well, and I don't know if it has fully recovered. Some people say that after an abortion, you need to rest like a postpartum period. Is it not okay to have sex for a whole month? How many days after an abortion can one have sex?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, it is generally recommended not to have sexual intercourse within one month, as the procedure is indeed a surgical trauma that can damage the endometrium. During this period, the body's resistance and immunity are relatively weakened. Premature sexual activity can easily lead to secondary infections and may also result in an accidental pregnancy again, causing further damage to the uterus. It is advised to rest as much as possible during this stage, avoid overexertion, and refrain from heavy physical labor for at least half a month.
