What are the adverse effects of sexual intercourse after a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

After seeing red the next day, taking the pregnancy preservation medicine was ineffective; and the pain lasted all night. The next morning, it came out. There were no significant abnormalities in my body. Ten days later, I had sexual intercourse with my husband. What adverse reactions might this cause? What should I pay attention to regularly? Can I eat fruits and vegetables? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you can eat fruits and vegetables. Pay attention to rest and don't overexert yourself. Generally, sexual activity is prohibited within two weeks of medication abortion to prevent infection. During this time, sexual activity allows some pathogenic bacteria in the vagina to enter and ascend to the uterus, leading to the growth and reproduction of these bacteria in the menstrual blood. This can cause endometritis, salpingitis, tubal adhesion, or tubal occlusion, and may also trigger endometriosis.
Recommendation: It's best to wait at least one month after the abortion before resuming sexual activity to prevent intrauterine infection. If you experience any discomfort, seek medical attention promptly.
