Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
After a woman's postpartum lochia is clean, the couple can have sexual intercourse. In fact, this view is incorrect. The duration of postpartum lochia is generally 2 to 4 weeks. After that, although the lochia may be clean, the wounds inside the uterus have not yet fully healed, and the physical exhaustion from childbirth has not recovered either. The body's resistance is also weak. If sexual intercourse occurs too early, it can easily lead to infection, resulting in conditions such as vaginitis, endometritis, salpingitis, or menstrual disorders.
