After giving birth, if the area below is clean, can you have sex?

Patient's question:

It's very frightening when this happens. I often experience lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here for consultation. May I ask if it's okay to have sexual intercourse after giving birth if everything is clean down there?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is recommended to wait for a month before resuming sexual activity. If there is an inflammation, oral antibiotics should be taken for treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene, maintain a balanced diet, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Early recovery, hello! For postpartum inpatients who have a normal vaginal delivery, if the condition is good, the surgery can be performed 6 hours after delivery. For those who deliver outside the hospital, they need to be hospitalized for observation for 1-2 days to ensure the condition is normal before the surgery. For those with difficult labor, hospital observation is required for 4-5 days, and the surgery can only be performed if there are no special circumstances.
