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 coldness. Could you please explain what postpartum lochia recurrence is?Doctor's answer:
During the postpartum period when lochia is not yet clean, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. Because there is vaginal bleeding, it indicates that the endometrial wound has not healed. Sexual intercourse may introduce pathogenic bacteria, leading to severe postpartum infection, or even fatal postpartum hemorrhage. Additionally, engaging in sexual activity before the birth canal wound is fully healed can delay the healing process. This not only causes pain but may also lead to secondary infection or even wound dehiscence.
