Patient's question:
How long after childbirth can one resume normal sexual activity? What precautions should be taken?Doctor's answer:
Mothers-to-be experience significant physiological changes during pregnancy, and these conditions typically take about 6 weeks to gradually return to normal after childbirth. It's best to wait until at least one and a half months, and even better to wait for two months, to allow the woman to fully recover. Recovering too soon can lead to premature vaginal relaxation and bacterial infections. It is recommended to wait until at least two months after delivery before resuming sexual activity. If you are a man, you should treat your wife well and let her recover fully. If you are a woman, please have your husband read my response.
