Patient's question:
How long after an abortion can you have sex?Doctor's answer:
Hello; After artificial abortion, you need to rest for two weeks, keep the external genital area clean, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and eat more nutritious foods. Pay attention to the fact that sexual activity, sitz baths, vaginal irrigation, and medication should be avoided after abortion before menstruation returns. This is because the cervix is loose, the endometrium is shedding, and the local defense ability is reduced, making it easy to cause retrograde infection, leading to pelvic inflammatory diseases such as endometritis and adnexitis. Severe cases may result in infertility.
