Patient's question:
I had a cesarean section and it has been 45 days. I had one menstrual period. Is it normal to have a menstrual period after the postpartum wine period after a cesarean section? Can the couple have sexual intercourse after the menstrual period? Can the couple have sexual intercourse 45 days after a cesarean 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 early, it may lead to the development of some gynecological infections. For a cesarean section, sexual intercourse is generally recommended around two months post-surgery. It is advised to relax, get adequate rest, maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, undergo regular check-ups, and take appropriate contraceptive measures. Cesarean section conditions can be serious, so patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment while also focusing on self-care training, proper diet, and avoiding worsening the condition.
