How long after giving birth can you have sex?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How long after giving birth can one have sex?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it takes about 2 months before you can resume sexual activity. If sexual activity is engaged in too early, it can affect the recovery of the uterus and easily lead to infections, such as vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and other gynecological conditions. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's life but can also lead to further gynecological issues. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for a vaginal examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
