I have already had one child, but I haven't felt satisfied for a long time. How long after giving birth can a mom have sex?

Doctor's answer:

Suitable coital time, normal vaginal delivery is postpartum 2 months. Cesarean section postoperative is 3 months. And it varies depending on each person's specific physical recovery. After the postpartum period, if the mother's body has no abnormalities, theoretically she can have coital activity. Three months after cesarean section, coital activity can be fully restored.
