A member asked:
Is it safe to have intercourse 1 week after having a hysteroscopy, d&c, and the novasure procedure done?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: I advise patients to wait 3 weeks. The uterine lining is shedding after the ablation and may be more susceptible to infection.

2 weeks: I recommend no intercourse for two weeks, but some physicians may recommend a longer time. You should ask your physician what he or she recommends for you. There is no need to wait longer then 4 weeks, and remember, there are alternatives to intercourse ;).
