Some female friends who accidentally become pregnant cannot continue to conceive and give birth to babies due to various reasons. Choose to have the child aborted through an abortion. Abortion can cause as much harm to the body as giving birth to a child, and it is best to rest like giving birth to a baby and sitting for a month. So, how long after a miscarriage can we have sexual intercourse?
It is generally not recommended to engage in sexual activity within one month after an abortion, as the use of vaginal dilators during surgery can cause the cervix to become loose, and friction between the surgical instruments can lead to significant shedding of the endometrium. The uterus's self-defense ability is reduced, and sexual intercourse can easily cause cross infection, leading to gynecological diseases such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and in severe cases, infertility.
So how long can we have sex after a miscarriage? Generally speaking, the timing of sexual intercourse can only be determined one month after the abortion surgery based on the individual's physical recovery. Two weeks after abortion, lochia can be cleared completely, but the uterus needs to wait for at least one month or 40 days to return to normal. It is best to have a normal menstrual cycle after a miscarriage before having sexual intercourse. The risk of infection during sexual intercourse too early can increase by half. So, compared to the momentary pleasure, what is more important is that the reproductive organs such as the uterus and ovaries need a sufficient process of repair and adjustment.
So within one month after induced abortion and 42 days after abortion, sexual activity and bathing should be prohibited. Moreover, abortion cannot be used as a contraceptive measure, but rather as a remedial measure after an unexpected pregnancy. So once menstruation resumes after an abortion, it is important to take safe and reliable contraceptive measures as soon as possible. For women of childbearing age who do not have a need for fertility in a short period of time, they can choose to place an intrauterine device in the uterus during the abortion surgery, which can more effectively protect themselves.
So after an abortion, it is necessary to wait for about 40-50 days for the body to recover before slowly arranging sexual activity. One abortion is an accident, but the harm caused is lifelong, so reducing the occurrence of abortions is one of the basic obligations of everyone.
