Can sex during early pregnancy cause a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Accidentally got pregnant without knowing, had sex recently, experiencing mild abdominal pain, want to consult if having sex right after getting pregnant can lead to miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

There may be a possibility of miscarriage after conception and intercourse. After conception, the fertilized egg implants and grows in the uterine cavity. Normal sexual activity can stimulate uterine contractions, leading to miscarriage. In the early stages of pregnancy, the gestational sac forms in the uterine cavity, and it is not firmly attached. Stimulation of contractions can easily cause miscarriage. Under normal circumstances, after the placenta is fully developed at three months or more, miscarriage is less likely. Sexual activity should be avoided in the early stages of pregnancy, but it can be resumed in the middle stages.
