Patient's question:
Yesterday was my 36th day post-caesarean section, and my husband insisted on having intimate relations with me. I thought the wound wasn't too painful, and since my lochia had also stopped, I agreed. We didn't use any contraception, and I'm very worried. Hello, can you get pregnant if you have intercourse without contraception 36 days after a caesarean section?Doctor's answer:
This situation also cannot be very accurately confirmed as to whether pregnancy will occur. In general, after a cesarean section, menstruation typically resumes gradually one month postpartum. However, since your period has not arrived yet, it is difficult to confirm whether it has already returned. You should pay attention to your physical condition. If you experience symptoms of pregnancy again, it is best to get tested promptly. Additionally, to quickly confirm whether you are pregnant, you can have a blood test about 10 days after intercourse. It is recommended that you avoid further sexual activity, as it is not good for your health. Please take note of contraception.
