Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old, uncomfortable after becoming pregnant, but this condition has not improved. She wants to have a systematic check-up at the hospital. Can she have sexual intercourse in the first month of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
During the first two months and the last three months of pregnancy, cohabitation is not allowed. In the first three months, sexual intercourse may cause spasmodic contractions of the pregnant uterus, leading to miscarriage. In the middle trimester (months 4, 5, and 6), cohabitation is permissible, but the actions should not be rough. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against cold and hypothermia, eat light, soft, and liquid foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
