It is generally recommended to wait at least 4 to 6 weeks after an abortion before engaging in sexual activity. This allows sufficient time for the uterus and body to heal and reduces the risk of infection and complications. The recovery time can vary depending on individual health and the specifics of the procedure, so it’s best to consult a doctor and follow their advice based on your personal recovery. The doctor may also recommend using contraception to prevent pregnancy in the short term.
