Patient's question:
Just had a baby, how long can a couple be together?History and effectiveness of previous treatment: No harm to the wound
Doctor's answer:
In normal childbirth, the uterus of the mother will not return to its normal size until about 42 days postpartum. The endometrium will take about 56 days to fully heal. The vaginal mucosa, however, will only return to normal after the ovarian function is restored, which is after menstruation resumes. Therefore, sexual activity must be avoided for the first 56 days postpartum. If sexual activity can be resumed after menstruation has fully returned, it would be the most civilized and rational approach. For cesarean births, it is best to wait at least three months before resuming sexual activity. Additionally, during the recovery period for cesarean births, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must pay close attention to rest.
