Patient's question:
I recently had a miscarriage. My husband and I haven't had sex yet because I still have some pain in my abdomen. So, I'd like to ask how long after a miscarriage can one resume sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
Within 1 month after a miscarriage, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. The cervix has not yet fully healed after an induced abortion, and the endometrium also needs time to repair. If sexual intercourse occurs too early, bacteria from the male body may be introduced into the female body, leading to endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease, as well as secondary infertility. Close and careful observation is required. If any discomfort occurs, seek medical attention promptly for a follow-up examination. At least 2 weeks of rest are recommended after a miscarriage. In terms of diet, avoid extremely cold and spicy foods, and do not consume beer to enhance nutrition, focusing on light and nutrient-rich meals.
