What needs to be reviewed at 42 days after a normal delivery?

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'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what check-ups are needed at 42 days postpartum?

Doctor's answer:

The 42-day check-up includes three items.
1. General examination: Weight, breast examination, blood pressure, routine blood and urine tests, blood sugar.
2. Gynecological examination: External genitalia, vagina, wound healing, pelvic examination, and whether the internal reproductive organs have returned to a pre-pregnancy state.
3. Infant examination: Weight, height, head circumference, chest circumference, and intelligence.
If the adhesions are not severe and the endometrial damage is minimal, there is still a chance of pregnancy. The key is whether the fallopian tubes are adhesed. It is recommended to have a fallopian tube patency test one month later. If the fallopian tubes are patent, the chances of pregnancy will be very high.
After surgery, sexual activity should be avoided for one month, and antibiotics should be used to prevent infection.
