Doctor's answer:
Hello, early sexual activity after a miscarriage can easily lead to infections and inflammation, and it is also not conducive to the body's recovery. After a miscarriage, the uterus, ovaries, and other reproductive organs need a sufficient period of rest and adjustment. If sexual activity is resumed too soon, it may not lead to pregnancy, but it can introduce bacteria into the vagina, potentially causing conditions such as endometritis and other gynecological diseases. It is recommended to wait at least one month after a miscarriage before resuming sexual activity to prevent intrauterine infection. Avoid tub baths and spicy, cold foods within two weeks. It is advisable to have a vaginal discharge test and ultrasound examination at the hospital three days after your period is clean. Additionally, avoid sitting baths within half a month after the surgery to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection.
