Can I have sex after I finish my confinement?

You cannot have sex after the confinement period. The earliest time to have sex after delivery is three months later. The female uterus has not fully recovered within three months, and the lochia after delivery has not been completely discharged. Having sex at this time will affect the recovery of the uterus and cause menstrual blood circulation problems. Therefore, you still need to regulate your body after the confinement period, and pay attention to taking contraceptive measures when having sex. It is not advisable to conceive again too early.

How long after the confinement period can I have sex?

Many people have this question: How long after the confinement period can one have sex? In fact, having sex after childbirth is one of the topics that many couples are more concerned about and pay attention to. The quality of postpartum sex life seriously affects the relationship between couples. So how long after the confinement period does a woman have to wait before she can have sex? Let’s take a look.

Under normal circumstances, pregnant mothers can have sex one month after they leave the confinement period. After giving birth, women's bodies will be in a relatively weak state, and this state will last for a long time. That is to say, it takes a long time for their bodies to gradually recover. During this period, it is not suitable for couples to have sex to avoid causing harm to the body.

Generally speaking, after giving birth, it takes about 6 to 8 weeks for the reproductive organs and other systems to recover, while it takes about 42 days for the female uterus to recover, and about 2 months for the endometrium to recover. This means that it is not suitable to have sex within two months after giving birth as recommended above.

Why is it not advisable to have sex too early after confinement?

The issue of sexual intercourse between husband and wife is actually a very direct reflection of whether the relationship between the couple is good or not. So why is it not advisable for women to have sex too early after they finish their confinement period? I will share with you a few reasons. If you don’t know much about it, come and take a look.

1. Prone to gynecological diseases

After giving birth, a woman's uterus goes through a recovery process, from enlarged to normal state. During the process of uterine recovery, it is best for couples not to have sex to avoid vaginal swelling and various gynecological diseases.

2. It is easy to cause vaginal injury

This is especially true for new mothers who give birth naturally, because natural childbirth involves passing through the birth canal, which can cause injury to the vaginal wall and mucous membrane. New mothers will need a period of time to recover during delivery. During this recovery period, it is not suitable for couples to have sex.

3. Pregnant women have low libido

Due to many reasons, such as the shift of center of gravity and changes in hormones in the new mother's body, women who have babies will shift most of their energy to the baby and may also show low sexual desire.
