After an abortion, if you have sex too early, it can easily cause uterine and pelvic bacterial infection, which is very detrimental to a woman's physical recovery after surgery. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the first 40 days after an abortion. After an abortion, a woman's uterus is severely damaged and needs time to recover. However, at this time, the woman's body is most afraid of the invasion of bacteria, and it is very easy to be infected during this period.

Within one month after an abortion, a woman's uterus is severely damaged and needs time to recover. If a woman has sexual intercourse during this period, it will affect the recovery of her body and may also cause bacterial infection. In severe cases, it will still affect her fertility. After the operation, you should also pay attention to keeping the vulva clean and avoid sexual intercourse within one month; observe postoperative bleeding; insist on contraception; pay attention to rest and increase nutrition.
