Patient's question:
I had a miscarriage before, and it was fine. This time, I might have had sex too soon after the miscarriage. I had my period twice after the miscarriage, which wasn't even a full month yet. But now it's been ten days, and it's still not completely gone. What should I do? Will this cause infection in the uterine cavity? Am I supposed to take oral medication?Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, engaging in sexual activity too soon may lead to prolonged menstrual bleeding, which is considered to be caused by gynecological inflammation resulting in irregular vaginal bleeding. Miscarriage can cause certain psychological trauma to the body's endometrium, and normal sexual activity should not be resumed for one month after the procedure to avoid further gynecological inflammation. Currently, the prolonged menstrual bleeding caused by premature sexual activity after a miscarriage is likely due to gynecological inflammation leading to intrauterine infection. It is recommended to actively treat the condition.
