Patient's question:
My friend was five months pregnant when she accidentally fell off her bike, causing the baby to wonder how long after a five-month miscarriage one can resume sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is recommended that pregnant women do not engage in sexual activity within one month after a miscarriage. One month postpartum, a follow-up ultrasound should be conducted to carefully observe uterine contractions, vaginal inflammation, lactation status, and other conditions. It is advisable to consume foods that boost qi, as the woman's constitution remains weak and her immunity is still low. Rest and enhance nutrition, maintain a relaxed mood, and keep the external genitalia clean to prevent infections. Additionally, it is important to return to the hospital for follow-up and seek medical attention promptly if any abnormalities are observed.
