When can I have sex after tubal dye?

Patient's question:

Doctor, when is the earliest I can have sex after hysterosalpingography? Actually, my husband and I also need to pay attention, as we haven't had sex for three months. So, I wanted to ask, can I have sex after three months? Besides having sex, what else should I pay attention to? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

After half a month after tubal catheterization, you can have sexual intercourse. If you have sexual intercourse too early after the operation, it is very easy to cause infection. Because tubal catheterization is an intrauterine procedure, pathogens can easily enter the uterine cavity through the vagina during sexual intercourse, leading to inflammation and affecting normal delivery. It is recommended that both partners pay attention to the hygiene of the perineum before sexual intercourse. Women should not use gynecological washing liquids too frequently to avoid vaginal flora imbalance.
