You : You are more prone to an infection after a D&C if you have sex. Also having sex can interrupt the healing process. As of now all you can do is monitor for signs of infection; this includes fever, foul vaginal discharge, pelvic or abdominal pain. If any of these things are present see your doctor. Take care.
