Patient's question:
Now that I have a baby, I had a C-section, and I just finished postpartum care. During pregnancy, I didn't get close to my husband for several months because of the baby. He's been longing for this, and now that I've finished postpartum care, I want to enjoy some time with my husband. When can I fully recover from sexual life after a C-section?Doctor's answer:
Do not have sexual intercourse within three months after a cesarean section. During a cesarean section, both the uterus and abdomen have incisions, requiring a period of thorough recovery. If the uterine incision does not heal properly, sexual intercourse may lead to incision rupture, which can directly cause severe bleeding and endanger the mother's life. It is recommended to pay close attention to rest and consume more nourishing and blood-boosting foods after a cesarean section to help restore the body. Cesarean section patients can use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment while understanding professional medical care. In daily dietary habits, it is essential to avoid extreme hunger or fullness and never overeat.
