How long after medication abortion is it appropriate to have sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I'm 22 years old and I just graduated from university. I have a boyfriend, but my mom doesn't agree with us getting married because we are still quite young. However, I accidentally got pregnant with his child. Since we weren't married, we went to have an abortion. I would like to ask, how long after a woman has a medication abortion is it appropriate to have sex?

Doctor's answer:

Women who have undergone medication-induced abortion should wait for a normal menstrual cycle one month later before resuming sexual activity. It is also important to decide on a suitable breastfeeding method. Increasing the frequency of abortion is advisable. Daily post-abortion care should be paid attention to, avoiding exposure to cold and consuming more qi-boosting foods, which helps in the complete recovery of the body. Careful observation and irregular follow-up examinations should be considered.
