When can I resume sexual activity after hysterosalpingography?

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 we have sex after three months? Besides having sex, what else do we need to pay attention to? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

After half a month after tubal contrast examination, you can have sexual intercourse. If you have sexual intercourse too early after the operation, it is very easy to cause infection. Because tubal contrast examination is an intrauterine operation, 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 men and women pay attention to the hygiene of the perineum before sexual intercourse. Women should not use gynecological washing liquid too frequently to avoid vaginal flora imbalance.
