Patient's question:
I had a miscarriage ten days ago and had sexual intercourse. Now my vagina is swollen and itchy. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you can only resume sexual activity one month later, as the uterus, ovaries, and other sexual reproductive organs need a sufficient period of repair and adjustment after an artificial abortion. If sexual intercourse is conducted too early, bacteria introduced into the vagina can easily ascend, causing gynecological diseases such as endometritis. If you currently have no discomfort, it is recommended to continue monitoring and avoid preventive medication. If any symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, yellow discharge with an odor, or vulvar itching occur during the observation period, it may indicate an infection, and you should seek medical attention at the gynecology department promptly.
