If there are still residual substances in the uterus after medical abortion, women need to undergo curettage surgery again. The harm of curettage surgery is still significant, so women need to prepare well before surgery, and after surgery, they should pay attention to a light diet, rest more, and avoid sexual activity. So, how long after the curettage surgery can we have sexual intercourse?
Women are not allowed to have sexual intercourse within one month after undergoing curettage surgery. The specific timing of sexual intercourse depends on the recovery of the woman's uterus and ovaries. They can go to the hospital for a follow-up examination one month after the surgery. If the uterus has fully recovered and the ovaries are fine, sexual intercourse can be arranged. Women should pay attention to hygiene when having sexual intercourse to avoid bacterial infections.
Scraping surgery can cause extensive damage to the endometrium of women, and during the surgery, the vagina and cervix need to be fully opened, which can easily lead to bacterial infections. So the recovery of the uterus after surgery takes time. Around 20 days after surgery, women's ovaries can slowly recover, and they need to rest more during the recovery period of the uterus.
In general, when to have sexual intercourse after curettage surgery depends on the woman's physical recovery. Each woman's constitution is different, and their postoperative recovery also varies. It is not recommended for women to have sexual intercourse before a follow-up examination. After a follow-up examination, it can be confirmed that there is no problem with the uterus before sexual intercourse, which is safer.
