Patient's question:
My wife has had a cesarean section for a month now. Can we have sex through the anus now?Doctor's answer:
Anal sex refers to the penis penetrating the anus of a male or female partner. From a hygiene perspective, this sexual practice should not be promoted because the anus is the body's excretory opening for feces. Uncleanliness, combined with the potential for mucosal damage to the anus and rectum, and frequent contact with blood, makes anal sex more likely to transmit sexually transmitted diseases than other sexual practices. Therefore, individuals who engage in this sexual practice should be persuaded and discouraged. Patients face the risks of cesarean delivery, and we should promptly adhere to the principle of symptomatic treatment without avoiding medical consultation. If the cesarean delivery condition does not improve with treatment, a timely change in the treatment plan should be implemented.
