Is it okay to have sex half a month after giving birth?

Patient's question:

There are already enough children at home, and unexpectedly, I got pregnant again. I had no choice but to decide on an abortion. It has been nearly 15 days since the procedure, and my husband and I want to have sex, but I don't know if it's okay and whether it will harm my body? Could you please advise me? Is it okay to have sex half a month after an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

After an abortion surgery, sexual activity cannot be resumed for half a month. In most cases, it is necessary to take precautions to prevent pregnancy again, and at the same time, precautions must be taken to prevent gynecological inflammation. If sexual activity is resumed too early, it can easily lead to endometritis, vaginitis, or cervicitis. It is necessary to avoid sexual activity, and sexual activity cannot be resumed for at least one month to prevent harm to the body.
