Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello, generally we recommend waiting for one month after a miscarriage before having sexual intercourse. The risk of infection is very high if sexual activity occurs immediately after a miscarriage. This is because the mucus plug in the cervix has not yet formed after a miscarriage, which cannot prevent bacteria from entering. At the same time, the endometrium is in a state of trauma, and if infected, it can easily lead to pelvic inflammation such as endometritis and salpingitis, potentially causing infertility. Therefore, it is best to wait for one month after a miscarriage before having sexual intercourse, which is a wise choice. Generally speaking, after an induced abortion, the lochia will usually stop within two weeks, but it is still necessary to wait for one month before resuming sexual activity.
