Patient's question:
Just after my baby, now the lochia hasn't completely stopped, and my body recovery isn't considered very good either. But my husband wants to have sex. Can we have sex now when the lochia hasn't stopped? The kind of help I care about: Can we have sex when the lochia isn't clean?Doctor's answer:
Dear, after childbirth, if the lochia is not completely expelled and the uterus has not fully recovered, sexual intercourse should be avoided to prevent reproductive system inflammation. It is recommended that you clearly explain this to your husband, highlighting the risks and benefits, as you believe he will understand. Rest and maintain good hygiene of the perineum before the lochia is completely expelled. It is important to follow up for postpartum check-ups at 42 days. The above advice is for the question "Can you have sex if lochia is not clean?" and we hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
