Had intercourse 7 days after hysteroscopy

Sexual intercourse 7 days after hysteroscopy is generally not recommended as it may increase the risk of infection or affect postoperative recovery. Hysteroscopy is an invasive procedure and requires a certain period of time for the endometrium to repair after surgery.

Premature intercourse after hysteroscopy may lead to upward bacterial infection and cause endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease and other gynecological inflammations. The endometrium may not be completely repaired 7 days after surgery, and mechanical stimulation during intercourse may cause bleeding or pain. In some patients, the cervix remains open after surgery, and intercourse may introduce external bacteria into the uterine cavity. It is normal for vaginal discharge to increase after surgery, but sexual intercourse may aggravate abnormal discharge. Doctor's advice after hysteroscopy usually recommends that sexual intercourse be prohibited for 2-4 weeks. The specific time must be followed by the doctor's advice.

After surgery, the vulva should be kept clean and dry, and washed with warm water 1-2 times a day. Avoid bathing, swimming and other activities that may cause infection for 2 weeks. Observe vaginal bleeding. If the amount of bleeding exceeds menstrual flow or symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain occur, seek medical attention promptly. You need to return to the hospital for a review one month after the operation to confirm the recovery of the endometrium. Eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins to promote tissue repair.
