Can you have sex during ectopic pregnancy therapy?

Patient's question:

I have been trying to conceive for a long time. When my period stopped, I found out I was pregnant through a pregnancy test, and I also experienced nausea and vomiting. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the test results were abnormal. An ultrasound revealed an ectopic pregnancy. I was really devastated. I would like to ask: Can I have sexual intercourse during the therapy for ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you described, after an ectopic pregnancy surgery, you need to avoid pregnancy for 3 to 6 months before getting pregnant. Hello, after surgery, sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one month, which is necessary before the next attempt to conceive. Both partners should go to the hospital for many pre-pregnancy examinations. During the pre-pregnancy stage, it is recommended to exercise outdoors frequently and take folic acid orally. For ectopic pregnancy patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Lastly, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
