Patient's question:
On November 1, the compound reserpine and triamterene tablets naturally miscarried. It didn't stop bleeding until the 18th and 19th. Later, an ultrasound showed normal results, and a D&C was not needed.Her period came on December 8, and the flow was always very light, requiring only sanitary pads. It stopped by the 18th. On the 19th, after intercourse, there was no bleeding. However, on the 23rd, after another act of intercourse, she started bleeding again. What could be the reason?
Doctor's answer:
Hello! Generally, it is recommended to wait 1 to 2 months after a miscarriage before resuming sexual activity, as the endometrium needs time to heal. Sexual activity may cause the newly formed fragile endometrium to shed again, leading to further bleeding. Based on your situation, the amount of bleeding should not continuously increase. It is advised that you refrain from sexual activity for now and allow natural medication to take effect. At the same time, pay attention to maintaining hygiene of the external genitalia to prevent infection. If the bleeding continues to increase, seek immediate follow-up. Best regards!
