How long after abortion can I have sex?

How long after an artificial abortion can you have sex? Women's reproductive organs can be divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts. Under normal circumstances, the functions of the female reproductive organs themselves can prevent pathogens from entering the interior. For example, the labia majora can cover the vaginal opening; the front and back walls of the vagina are tightly attached; under the action of estrogen secreted by the ovaries, the mucus secreted by the cervix forms a mucus plug, blocking the cervical opening, etc. The vagina maintains an acidic environment, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of pathogenic bacteria.

Once the vaginal environment changes, these natural defense functions will be weakened accordingly, and pathogens will easily enter the uterine cavity and fallopian tube cavity, multiply and cause diseases. After artificial abortion, a large area of ​​wounds will be left in the uterine cavity, while the vaginal wall and cervical opening will be opened, and the cervical mucus plug will disappear. In particular, the secretions of the cervix and uterine cavity are alkaline, which changes the internal environment of the vagina and makes it easy for pathogens to multiply. Therefore, within one month after artificial abortion, sexual intercourse and bathing should be absolutely prohibited to prevent pathogens from entering the reproductive organs.
