Postpartum sexual life after cesarean section

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I was born via cesarean section, and I don't know when I can have sexual intercourse.

Doctor's answer:

How long after childbirth can one resume sexual activity? This is a question that many people are concerned about. Generally speaking, whether it is a natural birth or a cesarean section, it is necessary to consider the healing of the perineal wound, vaginal bleeding (lochia), and postpartum depression. Due to the influence of traditional culture, most people in China do not resume sexual activity until after the full moon. Westerners, on the other hand, often resume sexual activity within three to four weeks postpartum.
