How long after taking medication for an abortion can you have sexual intercourse with your partner?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. May I ask if it's okay to take a shower after medication abortion if the bleeding stops? How long can I resume sexual activity? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

After taking medication for an abortion, it's best to wait for one month or until your next menstrual period arrives. Pay attention to keeping the external genital area clean. Avoid sexual activity for one month, as the damaged endometrium needs time to heal.
