How long after giving birth can one have sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

I was born via cesarean section.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! This is not easy to say, the time for sexual activity after vaginal birth and cesarean section is different.
If it is a vaginal birth, then it is generally possible to resume sexual activity about 45 days after delivery. If it is a cesarean section, then it is generally not possible to resume sexual activity until 3 months after delivery. During sexual activity, it is important to take contraceptive measures. Wishing you a happy New Year!
Generally, doctors recommend that women with postpartum consultation risks should maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to having a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
