Patient's question:
I just had an abortion procedure, and I know that I need to rest well for a period of time after it. However, I also want to satisfy my husband's physical needs. I was wondering how long after the abortion procedure can I have sex?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion procedure, it is necessary to wait at least one month before considering sexual activity. This is because the body is very weak immediately after the procedure, and the uterus has suffered significant physical trauma. If sexual activity is engaged in too soon, it may lead to conditions such as endometritis, vaginitis, and other infections. In severe cases, it may even result in infertility. If any discomfort or symptoms arise after the abortion, it is important to seek medical attention for evaluation.
