Patient's question:
My baby from the caesarean section is 42 days old. Hello, how much longer can we have sexual life?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up check to assess the complete healing of the wound. If there are no abnormalities, it should be fine, but attention should be paid to breastfeeding. Medical textbooks believe that within 6 weeks after delivery, the uterus and vagina can return to a non-pregnant state, and the wound from a cesarean section also takes about 6 weeks to fully heal, with no pain during exertion. Usually, the doctor will schedule a postpartum check-up 6 weeks after delivery to carefully examine how the wound is healing, whether the sutures have fully dissolved, how the uterus has returned to normal, and whether the menstrual cycle has already started. If the doctor tells you that your recovery is good, you can choose how to resume sexual activity based on your specific circumstances (such as your physical health, postoperative recovery, etc.).
