Cesarean section with yellow discharge, postpartum re-examination normal, can have intercourse?

Patient's question:

At 45 days post-caesarean section, I have yellow discharge. Postpartum re-examination said there were no issues, and a detailed ultrasound check also showed no problems. The doctor replied that it's fine, suggesting I use more cleaning solution to wash the area more thoroughly. Can I have sex?

Doctor's answer:

Simple leukorrhea with a yellow color does not affect sexual activity. However, even if the leukorrhea color is normal, sexual activity should be avoided for at least three months after a cesarean section. Sexual activity at 45 days is too early and is not conducive to uterine recovery, making it easy to cause uterine cavity infection. Yellow discharge suggests the possibility of bacterial vaginosis. It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital for a leukorrhea routine examination and then receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of the hospital.
