How long after the postpartum period can one resume sexual activity?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. How long after giving birth can I resume sexual activity?

Doctor's answer:

Postpartum reproductive organs and other systems take 6 to 8 weeks to recover, and a woman's interest in sexual life also needs to increase significantly by the third month after delivery. Therefore, even if a woman's body recovers smoothly postpartum, sexual intercourse should not occur until two months later. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's life but can also lead to the emergence of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a routine check-up in the gynecology department of the hospital, identify the cause, and then treat accordingly. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
