Can sexual intercourse be resumed 20 days after childbirth?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I had an abortion 20 days ago and had sex recently. A few days ago, I had itching down there, but it's not itchy anymore now. However, I have a lot of yellow discharge, stomach pain, and I'm craving spicy food. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

In this situation, it is recommended that you take birth control pills promptly to prevent pregnancy. Additionally, you had early sexual activity, which may lead to uterine cavity infection. In severe cases, it could affect future fertility. It is advised to take Amoxicillin to reduce inflammation. Monitor your condition closely, and if symptoms do not improve, seek medical attention promptly. In general, any form of induced abortion can have some impact on a woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to post-procedure care and health maintenance. Patients undergoing induced abortion should take care of themselves, such as avoiding cold exposure and not touching cold water.
