How long after an abortion can I have sex?

Short story: Xiaomei and her boyfriend just started living together, and they didn't pay attention to contraceptive measures. Xiaomei's period had not come for a month, so she went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that she was pregnant. Her boyfriend accompanied Xiaomei to have an abortion. In the second week after the operation, Xiaomei's boyfriend came home after drinking and wanted to have sex with Xiaomei. Xiaomei remembered that the doctor said she couldn't have sex after the operation, but she couldn't remember how long it had been, and she thought it should be fine after two weeks.

Under normal circumstances, the vaginal environment is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of pathogenic bacteria

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 close together, and under the action of estrogen secreted by the ovaries, the mucus secreted by the cervical endometrium forms a mucus plug, which blocks the cervical opening. The vagina maintains an acidic environment, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of pathogenic bacteria.

After an abortion, the vaginal environment changes and you should wait one month before having sex again.

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 open, and the cervical mucus plug will disappear. In particular, the secretions of the cervix and uterine cavity are alkaline. Therefore, within one month after artificial abortion, sexual intercourse and bathing should be absolutely prohibited to prevent pathogens from entering the reproductive organs.
