Patient's question:
After giving birth, it has been one and a half months, and I have already undergone various physical examinations at the hospital. My body has fully recovered, so now I can have sexual intercourse. However, I don't know how to use contraception. How should postpartum women use contraception effectively?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you are currently weak after giving birth, and if you have already undergone thorough examinations in the hospital at the 42-day postpartum period, you can have sexual intercourse and must take contraceptive measures. Postpartum lactation contraception has already begun, and normal postpartum contraception can be used 3 months after a normal delivery and 6 months after a cesarean section. IUDs can be used during lactation, but contraceptive pills are not recommended.
