How long after a hysterosalpingography (HSG) can one resume sexual intercourse?
Disease description:
I recently had a hysterosalpingography (HSG) and have a question for the doctor: How long should I wait before resuming sexual intercourse after the HSG procedure?

How long after a hysterosalpingography (HSG) before resuming sexual intercourse mainly depends on the patient's recovery status and the doctor's advice.
Under normal circumstances, if the patient does not experience any abnormalities such as abdominal pain or bleeding after the procedure and follows proper post-procedure care, it usually takes about two weeks to gradually return to normal activities, at which point sexual intercourse may be considered. However, this timeframe can vary depending on individual differences.
If the patient develops signs of infection or other discomforts during recovery, such as persistent abdominal pain or bleeding, sexual intercourse should be postponed until full recovery to prevent the spread of infection or worsening of the condition. In such cases, the recovery period may extend to approximately one month or longer.
