Just had an abortion 4 days ago and had sex. What are the consequences?

Patient's question:

I carefully checked and found out that I was pregnant a few weeks ago, but the child's health had problems. Four days ago, I chose to have medication abortion and not keep the child. However, my husband keeps saying he wants to have sex. I want to ask the doctor, if I have sex just 4 days after medication abortion, will there be any consequences?

Doctor's answer:

After taking medication for an abortion, you cannot have sex for a month. It has only been four days since the medication, and there is a significant amount of vaginal bleeding. The cervix is open to the outside, and when the skin is broken, it is easy for bacteria to grow. Having sex at this time can easily lead to bacteria moving backward and causing infections such as uterine inflammation and inflammation of the bilateral fallopian tubes and ovaries. The spread of inflammation can cause fallopian tube blockage, which can affect future fertility and lead to serious gynecological diseases.
