Patient's question:
At 47 days post C-section, my husband wants to have sex. Can we use a condom for intercourse? My lochia had stopped for about a week, but there was a very light amount the day before yesterday, and it has disappeared again in the past two days.Doctor's answer:
Normal lochia usually subsides around 6 weeks. If there is a very small amount of bleeding, it indicates that the uterine cavity has not yet fully recovered, and coitus is not recommended.42 days after delivery, it is recommended to undergo a follow-up ultrasound to assess the complete recovery of the uterine cavity. If it has fully recovered, coitus can be resumed. However, if there is still a very small amount of bleeding, coitus is not advised to avoid infection.
In addition to timely treatment for cesarean sections, patients should maintain a positive attitude when facing the illness. Only in this way can they reduce their immune system and the strength to combat the disease. At the same time, they should pay close attention to dietary care, ensuring balanced nutrition and proper digestion of nutrients, believing that this will help drive away the cesarean section.
