Patient's question:
My partner just had a baby, what can we start having sex again?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is essential to pay attention not to have sexual intercourse or take a bath with a basin within 42 days of a vaginal delivery. Postpartum check-ups should be scheduled regularly within 42 days after delivery. Strict contraception is required for at least 3 years after the procedure. Additionally, ovulation usually resumes around 10 weeks. It is important to take contraceptive measures, as otherwise, pregnancy may occur. Pay attention to maintaining vulvar hygiene; after each bowel movement or urination postpartum, it is necessary to wipe the vulva from front to back. Also, avoid contact with cold water and washing cold feet, as well as consuming spicy foods. Additionally, ensure adequate rest and consume high-quality protein-rich foods.
