Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How long after a miscarriage can one resume sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, it generally takes about a month before sexual intercourse can be resumed. Engaging in sexual activity within the first ten days after an abortion is very likely to cause infection, potentially leading to conditions such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and salpingitis. Severe cases may result in infertility in the future. This is because pregnancy causes hormonal changes in the body. During pregnancy, the body produces a hormone to ensure the baby can pass smoothly through the birth canal. This hormone relaxes the ligaments connecting the pelvis, which also relaxes muscles, causing an increased curvature of the spine and making it easier to experience lower back pain.
