Patient's question:
How long after tubal irrigation can one resume sexual intercourse? Or, to put it another way, can one have sex immediately and get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
After undergoing tubal irrigation, it is generally recommended to rest for a week before resuming sexual activity. During the tubal irrigation procedure, there is a risk of the fallopian tube mucosa tearing, which may lead to mild bleeding. If sexual activity is resumed immediately, it can easily cause the spread of inflammation. This can affect the chances of future conception. It is best to wait for a week to rest until the fallopian tubes have fully recovered before resuming sexual activity.
