How long after a cesarean section can one have sex?

Patient's question:

How long after a cesarean section can one have sexual intercourse????
Thanks~!

Doctor's answer:

Hello! After a cesarean section, you need to wait for 2 months before you can have sex. If you engage in sexual activity too soon, it can affect the recovery of your uterus, easily leading to infections such as vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and other gynecological conditions. For the sake of your health, do not have sex too soon. Generally, doctors recommend that patients with postpartum consultation risks should rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing you a healthy delivery.
