Patient's question:
Hello, I haven't been feeling well recently and would like to consult about this condition. How long should I wait after giving birth via C-section before having sex?Doctor's answer:
After a cesarean section surgery, there will be continuous discharge from the incision site after the stitches are removed. Once the discharge has completely stopped, you can resume sexual activity. However, it is important to wait until after the postpartum period. Additionally, pay attention not to force yourself if you are not feeling well. Cesarean sections have a significant impact on the body, and it takes about six months for the uterus to heal and for the body to recover properly. Pay attention to taking good care of yourself after giving birth and avoid overexerting yourself for at least a year. Rest more and have appropriate sexual activity. There are many treatment methods for cesarean sections, but since symptoms vary among patients, the diagnostic approach may differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment once symptoms are noticed.
