Hello Mrs,

It is recommended to wait 4 to 6 weeks after delivery, usually, unless your gynecologist advises otherwise. It should be noted that there can be light bleeding several weeks after delivery without it indicating a problem. As long as it is light and temporary.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
