Patient's question:
How long after production can one have sex?Doctor's answer:
For women who give birth naturally, the recovery of their uterus typically takes about 6 weeks to return to its normal size. During pregnancy, the uterus of a pregnant woman gradually expands and grows as the fetus develops inside the abdomen. By the time of delivery, the uterus is several times larger than it was before pregnancy. Therefore, the recovery process is relatively long, lasting approximately 42 days. Meanwhile, the uterine lining (endometrium) of the takes even longer to recover, requiring about 8 weeks. It can only fully recover after the ovarian function has largely returned, which is usually after the menstrual period resumes.
