How long after a cesarean section can I get an IUD? How long after can I have sex?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, postpartum women can resume sexual activity 6-8 weeks after the cessation of lochia, provided their reproductive system has returned to normal as confirmed by a doctor. Typically, women who have had a vaginal delivery can consider resuming sexual activity after a postpartum check-up at 42 days, while those who have undergone a cesarean section can consider it after 2 months. It is best for women who have had a cesarean section to wait until 6 months before using an intrauterine device (IUD).
