Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello, masturbation is equivalent to sexual intercourse. This situation generally carries the possibility of infection. Sexual intercourse too soon after an abortion can cause a certain degree of damage to the endometrium. Although the lochia may have stopped within two weeks after an abortion, the endometrial trauma has not fully healed. If sexual intercourse is performed too soon, bacteria introduced into the vagina can easily ascend, leading to gynecological diseases such as endometritis. Therefore, it is better to wait one month after an abortion before resuming sexual activity to prevent intrauterine infection.
