How long after a miscarriage can one resume sexual activity?

Patient's question:

I just had a miscarriage surgery, and it's been two weeks. Now I want to have sex with my partner, but I'm worried it might affect my health. So I'd like to ask for advice: If I have sex now, will it have any impact on my body? Under normal circumstances, how long after a miscarriage can one resume sexual activity?

Doctor's answer:

After a miscarriage surgery, it is absolutely not advisable to have sexual intercourse for about two weeks. Even if the bleeding has already stopped, it is still not recommended. This is because the uterus has not yet fully healed after the miscarriage. Engaging in sexual activity at this time can cause further tearing due to stimulation, and may even lead to the recurrence of gynecological infections. Therefore, both you and your husband need to restrain yourselves and not neglect your health for the sake of temporary guilt.
