Type of assistance desired: After the abortion, I also had an IUD inserted. How long do I need to wait before having sex?
Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, it is better to wait for a month before resuming sexual activity after inserting an IUD. Since you had a miscarriage, you should also wait for a month before resuming sexual activity. Therefore, I suggest you wait for a month before having sex. Sexual intercourse too soon after a miscarriage increases the risk of infection and the development of gynecological diseases. I advise you to be cautious and wait for a month before resuming sexual activity, which would be more appropriate. During this period, it is essential to maintain good hygiene in the affected area. Do not give in to the urge to have sex prematurely, as this can cause significant harm to women. Therefore, it is better to endure for a while if possible. Avoid making hasty decisions; otherwise, it is easy to develop gynecological diseases in the future.
