Can a couple have sex 45 days after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

I had a C-section and it has been 45 days. I had my period once. Is it normal to have your period after the postpartum wine period after a C-section? Can the couple have sex after the period? Can the couple have sex 45 days after a C-section?

Doctor's answer:

Around 45 days after a cesarean section, it is not advisable to have sexual intercourse. After the surgery, a woman's body needs a period of recovery. If sexual intercourse occurs too soon, it may lead to the development of gynecological infections. With a cesarean section, it is generally recommended to wait about two months before resuming sexual activity. It is advised to relax, get adequate rest, maintain cleanliness in the external genital area, undergo regular check-ups, and take appropriate contraceptive measures. Cesarean section conditions can be serious, so patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment while also focusing on self-care training, proper diet, and avoiding exacerbating the condition.
