What happens if you have sex after taking medication for an abortion?

Patient's question:

My girlfriend had a medication abortion at the hospital last week and has been resting at home ever since. The doctor previously told me not to have sex. But I was very sad and couldn't resist myself, after all, we are still very young. Therefore, I want to know what the consequences are if I have sex after medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, after medication-induced abortion, there may be situations where menstrual blood flow increases continuously. If it is still in the recovery period, the cervix remains open. At this time, engaging in sexual activity may lead to a recurrence of pelvic inflammation or exacerbate pelvic infection. Therefore, it is still recommended to avoid sexual activity strictly. Regular follow-up check-ups are sufficient.
