Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old, I have had an IUD for three years, and my menstrual cycle has always been very regular. However, this month, my period was delayed by a week, and I have been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit. After a check-up, it was found to be an ectopic pregnancy. How could this happen? Please ask: How long after the surgery for ectopic pregnancy can one resume sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
After the ectopic pregnancy surgery, you can only resume sexual activity one month later. Premature sexual activity can easily lead to infection. You don't need to take emergency contraception after one week of surgery. It takes more than one week after a miscarriage to recover from menstruation. It is recommended that you avoid sexual activity, pay attention to external genital hygiene, and maintain sexual hygiene. After one month of resuming sexual activity, you should pay attention to breastfeeding. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal, top-tier hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
