Is it okay to have sexual intercourse 1 month and 7 days after childbirth?

Patient's question:

Symptom Description: No menstrual period, and no discomfort.
History of Treatment and Effect: Just had an abortion under anesthesia. I am afraid that sexual activity may lead to some diseases.
What kind of help do you want: Will I get infected, or how?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, it is possible. Usually, after a miscarriage, menstruation will return about a month later, which is around 30 days. If it hasn't arrived by this time, it may be necessary to have an ultrasound to check how well the uterus has recovered. After a miscarriage, a person is very weak and needs to strengthen their nutrition and rest well. Sexual activity can easily deplete vital energy and is not conducive to postoperative recovery. Sexual activity should be avoided within the first 30 days. After 30 to 40 days post-miscarriage, it can be considered. However, during this period, sexual activity is not recommended, mainly to avoid postoperative infection. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid baths.
