Patient's question:
I had a miscarriage on October 19th, and had sexual activity five days later. I don't know what the consequences might be. I'm looking for help: I want to know what the consequences might be.Doctor's answer:
After an artificial abortion, it is necessary to wait for one month before completely resuming sexual activity. Although the lochia may have already subsided after the abortion, the endometrium and psychological trauma have not fully recovered. If sexual intercourse is engaged in too soon, bacteria entering the vagina can easily descend, leading to gynecological diseases such as endometritis. Therefore, it is better to wait for the normal return of menstruation before resuming sexual activity to avoid intrauterine infection. If abdominal pain or bleeding reoccurs, it is recommended to promptly visit a hospital for a thorough examination and symptomatic treatment.
