What should I do if I had sexual intercourse on the day of a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

I had a miscarriage surgery last week and had sex with my husband the same day. What should I do if I had sex on the day of the miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

Having an abortion is after all a surgical procedure, which can cause psychological trauma to the endometrium. It is generally recommended not to have sexual intercourse within one month, as the immune system is relatively weak during this period and the endometrium has not yet fully healed. Sexual activity can easily lead to infection. If you have sexual intercourse on the day of your abortion, the risk of infection is relatively high, and you need to actively use antibiotics to prevent infection.
