What should I do when I have sex during the confinement period?

It is generally recommended not to have sex within two months after delivery. If you have sex too early, it may cause intrauterine infection of the birth canal, increase the duration of lochia, increase bleeding, and delay uterine repair. If the body does not have any effects this time, it is recommended to have sex after two months and pay attention to rest and diet balance.

The harm of sexual intercourse during confinement

Because when a woman gives birth, the cervix will be completely dilated, and even after giving birth, it will take about three months to recover. At this time, if you have sex, the bacteria may be brought to the cervix, causing infection in the cervix.

In addition, women's vagina will also suffer certain damage during the delivery process. The vagina is the key location for sexual intercourse. During intense sexual intercourse, high-intensity friction may cause vaginal hematoma or even rupture of small blood vessels, which poses a great safety hazard to women's health. The bodies of most women who have just given birth are also very weak. If they engage in vigorous sexual intercourse and exercise, they may also experience body exposure.

Finally, having sex during the confinement period may also cause female adnexitis, menstrual disorders, postpartum lochia, and uterine prolapse. Moreover, some couples think that it is impossible to get pregnant during the confinement period, and instead start having sex without contraceptive measures, and feel happy. Here I would like to remind everyone that if you have to have sex, you must wear a condom to reduce the chance of infection.

This article introduces in detail what women should do if they have sex during the confinement period, as well as the several dangers of having sex during the confinement period. I hope it can help friends who want to learn about confinement knowledge.
