Patient's question:
Hello, I found out I was pregnant last month, and it was an ectopic pregnancy, so I had surgery immediately. It has been almost a month since the surgery until now. My husband wants to have sex, but he is afraid that my body hasn't fully recovered. How long after an ectopic pregnancy surgery can one have sex?Doctor's answer:
Generally, sexual activity can be resumed one month after surgery. If you experience abdominal pain, lower back pain, etc., you may need to delay it appropriately to avoid affecting the complete recovery after surgery. Ectopic pregnancy surgery is often performed using minimally invasive techniques, which typically involve less trauma and lead to good recovery with minimal impact on daily life. However, during sexual activity, it is important to pay attention to breastfeeding and avoid getting pregnant in the short term, as this can increase physical stress. Rest, maintain a light diet, and take care of your health. Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women should pay close attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently. Wishing all female patients a speedy recovery!
