Patient's question:
Patient Gender:Patient Age: The female patient has just undergone an abortion. How long does it take to resume sexual activity?
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to wait until menstruation returns to normal and ends before resuming sexual activity. Pay attention to the fact that sexual activity, sitz baths, vaginal douching, and medication should be avoided after a miscarriage before menstruation resumes. This is because the cervix is relaxed, the endometrium is shedding, and the local defense ability is weakened, making it easy to cause retrograde infection, leading to pelvic inflammatory diseases such as endometritis and adnexitis. Severe cases may result in infertility.
