Can women use the toilet while squatting after giving birth?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. May I ask if it's possible to squat to use the toilet after giving birth?

Doctor's answer:

It's better not to. It can easily cause uterine prolapse. It's safer to use the toilet while sitting down. Also, during postpartum recovery, a person is very weak, and squatting for too long can cause fainting.
Hello, if you had a vaginal delivery, you can generally resume sexual activity six weeks postpartum if a check-up shows no abnormalities. If you had a cesarean section, it's recommended to wait three months before having sex.
