Can women with postpartum cervical inflammation have sex?

Patient's question:

I just had a baby and went to the hospital for a postpartum check-up. The doctor said I have cervical inflammation (2/3). They prescribed medication, which I finished. Today, I went back to the hospital, and they said to wait until the baby is weaned before seeking treatment. During this period, I don't need to take medication or use any suppositories. I want to understand—can I have sex during this time?

Doctor's answer:

This is a common and frequently occurring gynecological condition, with more than half of unmarried women potentially experiencing it. Due to the diverse treatments available for cervical inflammation today, if one steps into a misconception, the condition can easily worsen. It is essential to seek proper treatment to achieve a complete cure. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and herbal medicine have accumulated many highly effective treatment methods through long-term clinical practice. These methods are fast-acting and produce definite results. Generally, taking 3–4 courses of treatment is recommended, with milder cases requiring 2–3 courses. Each course lasts for 14 days. Patients with cervical inflammation, in addition to timely treatment, should also pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients. I hope the above information helps you.
