Patient's question:
I had a C-section on July 7th, and I am currently breastfeeding. When can I have sex?Doctor's answer:
After a cesarean section, sexual activity must be avoided for 42 days. After 42 days, a follow-up examination is required. Only if the follow-up examination indicates complete recovery can sexual activity be resumed.During breastfeeding, menstruation generally does not occur. Even if menstruation occasionally resumes, it is irregular, and there is a possibility of accidental menopause and childbirth. Sexual activity requires the use of contraceptive measures.
After a cesarean section, breastfeeding must be continued for two years before pregnancy can be considered.
Cesarean section patients can understand and follow symptomatic treatment while using folk remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. A balanced diet should be maintained in daily meals to avoid stimulating foods.
