    After intrauterine adhesion surgery, it usually takes 1-2 months before you can have sex. The specific time depends on the postoperative recovery.

    The endometrium needs time to repair after intrauterine adhesion surgery. Premature intercourse may increase the risk of infection or affect wound healing. Sexual intercourse is prohibited within 1 month after surgery. At this time, vaginal bleeding may not have completely stopped and the cervix is ​​open, which may easily lead to complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease. Intercourse can be resumed only after a doctor's evaluation 1-2 months after the operation, confirming that the ultrasound examination shows normal uterine cavity shape, no fluid accumulation, and no symptoms such as abdominal pain or abnormal secretions. During postoperative intercourse, you need to be gentle and use condoms to reduce the chance of infection. If bleeding or pain occurs, stop immediately and seek medical advice.

    After surgery, you should keep your perineum clean, avoid bathing and swimming, and take antibiotics as directed by your doctor to prevent infection. Add more high-quality protein such as fish and eggs to your diet to promote tissue repair and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Hysteroscopy needs to be reviewed 1 month and 3 months after surgery to evaluate the recurrence of adhesions. If you are preparing for pregnancy, it is recommended to monitor ovulation under the guidance of a doctor. The golden period of pregnancy is within six months after surgery.
