Can you have sex after a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I fell down the stairs last month, and the baby was miscarried. I've been unable to let go of the fact that I couldn't save him. My husband has been comforting me, but I still want to get pregnant again. I'd like to consult about whether it's okay to have sex after a miscarriage? How long after a miscarriage can one have sex? It seems like I'm pregnant again.

Doctor's answer:

Do not have sex for a short period of time after a miscarriage. About one month after a miscarriage surgery, the uterus and endometrium can return to normal. It is not recommended to have normal sexual life within one month. Also, it is not advisable to get pregnant shortly after a miscarriage. You should breastfeed for more than a year before getting pregnant again. In the short term after a miscarriage, the body has not fully recovered, and the mood is not good, which is conducive to pregnancy. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to decreased immunity.
