Patient's question:
My wife has had a cesarean section for 50 days now. There is still a small amount of blood coming from her lower body. Sometimes it comes every 7 or 8 days, and sometimes it comes after more than 10 days. The amount is very small. Is this a problem? She is 34 years old and this is her first child. When can we resume sexual activity? Will it affect her health? Thank youDoctor's answer:
This is a normal phenomenon, and the amount of postpartum bleeding also varies from person to person. Additionally, did you take your wife for a follow-up check-up at 40 days postpartum? It is normal to visit the hospital for a check-up at that time to see how well the uterus has recovered.Regarding sexual activity, you should be patient and wait. The earliest you can engage in it is after 60 days postpartum. I recommend you visit the hospital for a check-up first, and then discuss the diagnosis with the doctor.
