A patient asked: I recently had a hysteroscopy and laparoscopy. I would like to ask how long it will take before I can have sex after the hysteroscopy? So when is the best time to have sex after hysteroscopy?

Expert advice: How long you can wait before you can have sex after hysteroscopy depends on your specific situation, such as the disease you had the surgery for, your recovery from the surgery, etc. Generally, the recovery is good and sexual intercourse can be resumed one month after the operation.

For the vast majority of patients who undergo diagnostic curettage, it is more effective and rational to first perform hysteroscopy to confirm the location of the disease and then perform biopsy or curettage. Hysteroscopic laparoscopy can diagnose and treat a variety of diseases, such as abnormal uterine bleeding caused by imbalanced female function, cervical fibroids, uterine polyps, intrauterine contraceptive rings, and residual test tube embryo tissue after abortion. Hysteroscopic treatment not only allows patients who previously needed hysterectomy by traditional methods to avoid laparotomy, but also preserves the uterus. Hysteroscopic surgery is also safe for patients with exudative diseases such as thrombocytopenia, hemophilia, and sepsis.

In addition, hysteroscopy can be used to perform vaginal and uterine examinations on pregnant women and single women, detect abnormalities in those areas promptly and accurately, and provide corresponding treatments. It can also protect the details of the ruptured hymen and relieve the pain of the patient. Hysteroscopic surgery can also be used to diagnose the cause of infertility, correct uterine malformations, and, when necessary, to diagnose early endometrial cancer.
