Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello: After a miscarriage, sexual activity should be avoided before the return of menstruation, as well as tub baths, vaginal douching, and medication. This is because the cervix is lax, the endometrium is shedding, and the local defense ability is reduced, making it easy to cause retrograde infection, which can lead to pelvic inflammatory diseases such as endometritis and adnexitis. Severe cases may result in infertility. Generally, vaginal douching can be performed after the first menstrual period is clean.
