Patient's question:
I have already been 40 days post-caesarean section, and my husband has been suggesting intimacy these past couple of days. However, if my father's health doesn't fully recover, intimacy could affect my body. Is it okay to have intimacy 40 days post-caesarean?Doctor's answer:
When the lochia is completely gone and the body has fully recovered, consider resuming sexual activity. Early sexual activity after a cesarean section may lead to infection and interfere with complete recovery. It is recommended to closely monitor the situation. If the lochia has completely disappeared and there are no abnormalities upon examination, it is safe to resume sexual activity. During this period, pay attention to adequate rest and avoid overexertion. I hope this helps. For patients, if the condition after a cesarean section is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be provided, and appropriate medication should be used.
