How Long Would It Take For An Air Embolism To Cause Symptoms?
I'm really scared. I am 4 weeks postpartum & my husband & I had sex for the first time Tuesday. He pushed quit a but of air into me while doing the deed & now I'm afraid that I have an air embolism. I thought I was completely healed but started bleeding a very small amount the next day. I've seen warnings about this online. Is it really possible? And how long would it take for an air embolism to kill or cause symptoms after it's aquired this way?

Hello ma'am and welcome.
An air emboli is when there is air in the circulation, and cannot occur when air is pushed into the vagina-uterus. Please stop worrying and enjoy your intimacy.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
