What is the meaning of the postpartum period

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The postpartum period is the process during which all organs of a pregnant woman, except the breasts, return to their pre-pregnancy state after childbirth, which generally takes about 6 weeks. During the postpartum period, sexual intercourse should be avoided, as should tub baths. It is important to maintain physiological hygiene to prevent pelvic infection.
