How long after giving birth can a woman have sex?

Patient's question:

I'll be one month postpartum soon. From pregnancy to childbirth, I haven't had sexual relations with my husband for a long time. I'm doing okay on my own, but the key is that if a man doesn't get satisfaction for a long time, it can cause problems. So, I want to have sex with my husband as soon as possible after the full moon.
What kind of help do I need: How long after a woman gives birth can she have sex?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: For women who give birth normally, the uterus needs about 42 days postpartum to return to its normal size. The endometrium takes about 56 days to heal completely. The vaginal mucosa, however, needs to wait until the ovarian function returns to normal, i.e., after menstruation resumes, to fully recover.
