Does induced abortion affect the uterus?

Patient's question:

Last Sunday, I had an abortion, and then I kept getting IV fluids. Yesterday, I accidentally had sex with my boyfriend, but his penis only went in halfway, and he pulled out outside my body. Will this affect my uterus?

Doctor's answer:

Post-abortion, the body's physical condition is relatively weak. If cohabitation occurs too early, it may lead to uterine infection. If there are no discomforts at present, careful observation can be initially conducted. After an abortion, there may be a temporary period of menstrual irregularity, and the ovulation period is difficult to estimate. It is necessary to take effective contraceptive measures to prevent accidental pregnancy. Unprotected intercourse cannot be used as a breastfeeding method. During cohabitation, the prostatic fluid excreted contains sperm, which can lead to pregnancy. For breastfeeding, using condoms or getting an intrauterine device (IUD) after menstruation has ended is relatively safer.
