I'm just wondering how long we should wait to be intimate again after my wife had a cesarean operation and underwent family planning. Could you let us know what's a safe timeframe for recovery before we get together?

After a cesarean section and family planning procedure, it is generally recommended to wait at least 6 weeks before engaging in sexual activity. This allows for proper healing and reduces the risk of complications. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and attend any follow-up appointments to ensure everything is healing properly.

I'm in a situation where I have a retained product and I'm wondering if it's okay to just wait for it to pass naturally. I haven't had any cramps, fever, or bad-smelling discharge, only some light brown bleeding. Should I consider a surgical method instead, or is it safe to let it resolve on its own?

What retained products are you taking about?? Retained placental bits or abortion.. It has to be removed, some times they get expelled but if not it causes sepsis and shock like condition..
