Hello: It is best to have sexual intercourse one month later.After taking medication for an abortion, you can usually return to normal work after resting for 2-3 days. However, please pay attention to the following basic points:
- Rest appropriately and avoid excessive workload;
- Avoid catching a cold or getting chilled;
- Eat more nutritious foods to help your body recover quickly;
- Maintain cleanliness in the external genital area. You should not have sexual intercourse for one month, as the damaged endometrium needs time to heal. Prevent infections of the reproductive organs.
Two weeks after taking medication for an abortion, observe whether there is bleeding or abdominal pain. If necessary, go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. If it is incomplete abortion, immediate uterine evacuation should be performed.
If you suddenly experience heavy active bleeding, fever, severe abdominal pain, or other symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.
