How long after pregnancy 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 pregnancy can one have sexual intercourse?

Doctor's answer:

Before 12 weeks of pregnancy and after 28 weeks, sexual activity is prohibited to prevent miscarriage. In the second trimester of pregnancy (12 to 28 weeks), sexual activity is allowed but should be moderate to avoid compression of the pregnant uterus and potential harm to the fetus. Appropriate changes in sexual positions and postures should be made, such as the woman lying with her buttocks at the edge of the bed and the man adopting a standing position.
Your condition may be tachycardia. In adults, a heart rate exceeding 100 beats per minute is considered tachycardia. An electrocardiogram can provide a definitive diagnosis. Treatment is typically with propranolol.
