A member asked:

What is the propensity of contracting an infection after 1 week of miscarriage with spotting and having intercourse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Depends on the type of infection some would be easy due to blood acting as a good culture medium for bacteria. I usually ask patients to wait 2 weeks when the bleeding is less, .
