How to remedy sexual intercourse before hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopic surgery plays a great role in the diagnosis and treatment of some current gynecological diseases, whether it is the examination and treatment of uterine malformations, or for difficult-to-remove IUDs, or even for abortions. There are usually some preoperative precautions before hysteroscopic surgery. The most important one is that you cannot have sex before hysteroscopy. Many friends don’t know this, so how can you remedy the situation of having sex before hysteroscopy? Next I will introduce it to you in detail.

Generally, hysteroscopy is performed within 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period ends. Do not have sex before that time, otherwise there is a possibility of inflammation and infection. If you have already had sex, going to the hospital for a check-up and doing relevant flushing and other treatments will not affect the examination. It is required not to have sexual intercourse before hysteroscopy and surgery, mainly because of the fear of poor contraception. If you are pregnant, hysteroscopy and surgery will cause miscarriage. Therefore, you are required not to have sexual intercourse before doing hysteroscopy. If you have sex before hysteroscopic treatment, but if contraceptive measures are in place to rule out the possibility of pregnancy, and if there is no gynecological inflammation in the secretion examination, it will not affect the hysteroscopic surgery. If pregnancy cannot be absolutely ruled out, there is no remedial measure and you can only wait until next month to do a hysteroscopy.

You cannot have sex before hysteroscopic surgery because sexual intercourse may cause bleeding or cross infection, so it is not recommended to have sex before the examination.

Hysteroscopy is an examination of vaginal diseases suitable for young girls or unmarried women. It is used for examinations of unexplained vaginal bleeding, irregular menstruation, vaginal discharge, abdominal pain, family planning, infertility, etc. to exclude the presence of inflammatory tumors, foreign bodies, deformities, adhesions, hemangiomas or abnormal pregnancy. Under direct vision, local biopsy, cervical polypectomy, endometrial polypectomy, decomposition of cervical adhesions, removal of uterine septum, endometrial resection, removal and extraction of intrauterine contraceptive devices or other foreign bodies can be performed. Fallopian tube occlusion or fluid insufflation and artificial insemination can also be performed.

A hysteroscope is an optical instrument used for observation, diagnosis and treatment of the uterine cavity. Hysteroscopes can be divided into diagnostic and surgical types, and soft and hard types. The flexible diagnostic hysteroscope is made of advanced optical fiber. It has a small diameter and can be bent at will, making it easy to observe and diagnose the entire uterine cavity. The examination process is fast (about 2 to 5 minutes), painless, and does not hurt the uterus.

Abnormal uterine bleeding, menorrhagia, oligomenorrhea, irregular menstrual cycle, uterine fibroids, uterine polyps, displacement of IUD, infertility, habitual miscarriage, follow-up examinations after spontaneous or induced abortion, abnormal ultrasound images, long-term lower abdominal pain, artificial conception and preoperative evaluation of in vitro fertilization, etc. are all indications for hysteroscopy.

The uterus is the palace of the fetus, and the uterine cavity is the room where the fetus will live for ten months. Conception is easy only when the uterine cavity is normal. Hysteroscopy is a powerful tool for treating infertility, and all infertile patients should undergo hysteroscopy.
