Patient's question:
The complete recovery of the uterus after childbirth is slower. Three days of menstruation occurred on the 38th day. Four days of menstruation came again on the 50th day. The blood flow is as much as a normal menstrual period. When can sexual intercourse be resumed?Doctor's answer:
Postpartum at 42 days, a comprehensive and thorough check-up should be implemented for both mother and baby. If the postpartum check-up is normal, the couple can resume sexual life. If sexual activity is engaged in too early, it may interfere with the complete recovery of the uterus and easily lead to infections, such as vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and other gynecological diseases. Moreover, the complete recovery of postpartum menopausal function is often unpredictable and may occur before the return of lactational amenorrhea. Therefore, it is essential to implement contraceptive measures to prevent accidental early pregnancy, which is not beneficial for either the mother or the baby.Actually, having a cesarean section is not at all. The patient should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as timely treatment is provided at an early stage, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
