Can you have sex after a cesarean section one month postpartum?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. May I ask if it's okay to have sex after a Caesarean section at the full moon?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, women can resume sexual activity 6-8 weeks after their lochia has subsided, provided their reproductive system has returned to normal after a medical examination. Postpartum women who have undergone a cesarean section can consider resuming sexual activity after about 2 months.
During menstruation, it is not advisable to consume alcohol. If menstrual cramps significantly affect your daily life, you may need to take medication. You can try taking Yuanhu Zhitong tablets orally. It's important to keep your abdomen warm and apply heat to your abdomen frequently. Gradually, the condition will improve. Wishing you good health.
