Can you have intercourse with a condom 30 days after induced labor?

Under normal circumstances, if the body has recovered well and there are no abnormal symptoms 30 days after induced labor, having intercourse with a condom may be acceptable. However, if vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, or other discomforts persist, or follow-up examinations indicate poor recovery, intercourse is not recommended. If in doubt, it's advisable to consult a healthcare provider in advance. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If 30 days after induced labor, vaginal bleeding has completely stopped and there are no symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, or abnormal discharge (e.g., foul odor, unusual color), and ultrasound follow-up shows the uterus has returned to normal size with no residual tissue in the uterine cavity, then having intercourse using a condom can reduce the risks of infection and unintended pregnancy. The body is generally capable of tolerating intercourse at this stage, and health problems are unlikely to occur—provided that movements are gentle.

If irregular vaginal bleeding persists 30 days post-procedure, or is accompanied by abdominal pain, foul-smelling discharge, or fever, and follow-up exams reveal delayed uterine recovery, retained tissue in the uterine cavity, or signs of infection, intercourse—even with a condom—is still not advised. At this stage, the cervical opening may not have fully closed and the endometrium may not be completely healed; intercourse could worsen inflammation, increase bleeding, or even lead to complications such as intrauterine adhesions.

It is recommended to have a hospital follow-up examination 30 days after induced labor to assess recovery status. If recovery is confirmed to be adequate, intercourse may resume but only with consistent and correct use of condoms and strict attention to personal hygiene.
