How long after having a child can one resume sexual relations?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

After an abortion, sexual activity is prohibited for one month because the cervix has not fully closed and the endometrium also needs a healing process. If sexual intercourse occurs too soon after an abortion, it may lead to acute endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or even secondary infertility. Therefore, it is better to wait for one month before resuming sexual activity. Around one month after the abortion, you can go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to check if the abortion is complete and to assess the recovery of the uterus.
