How long after confinement can I have sex?

Women also need to stay in confinement after a miscarriage, and this period of confinement is called the short confinement period. How long after the confinement period can a woman have sex? Women need to take good care of their bodies after a miscarriage. The confinement period is about 2 to 3 weeks, and they can have sex only after one month. Women need to go to the hospital for check-up after finishing their confinement period. To understand whether your body has returned to normal, let’s learn more about it in detail.

1. How long after the first month of confinement can I have sex?

You can have sex again after one month of confinement.

In fact, whether it is miscarriage or induced labor, it is a painful process for women and will cause great trauma to their reproductive system. Therefore, you should pay more attention to these matters after a miscarriage, supplement nutrition comprehensively, pay attention to hygiene, and not have sex. After a miscarriage, the uterus and cervix of a woman are traumatized. If sexual intercourse occurs at this time, the male reproductive organs will bring in bacteria, and the traumatized uterus will be easily infected and inflamed, which is a very big harm to the female body and can easily lead to endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. You may not feel it when you are young, but it will show up when you are older, so don't have sex one month after the confinement period.

Even if the uterus and vaginal walls have recovered completely after 4 to 6 weeks, you should still be as cautious and careful during sexual intercourse after childbirth as you would on your first night of marriage. It is best to use a lubricant such as a contraceptive cream or cream to lubricate the vagina at the beginning to facilitate sexual intercourse. This is not only because a person's mental state and physical strength need a recovery process after a painless abortion surgery, but more importantly, reproductive organs such as the uterus and ovaries need a sufficient repair and adjustment period. The abortion method is to remove the embryonic tissue attached to the endometrium. This will inevitably cause a certain degree of damage to the endometrium. Even though the lochia has cleared, the trauma to the endometrium has not fully recovered. So, you can have sex again after one month of confinement.

2. The harm of having sex too early during the first month of confinement

It is best not to have sex before menstruation after abortion! Because the cervix is ​​in a relaxed state during abortion, the effect of preventing bacteria from entering the uterine cavity is weakened. During sexual intercourse, bacteria hidden in the male genitals and bacteria in the female vulva, vagina, and cervix can take the opportunity to ascend and infect the uterine cavity; at the same time, the blood sinuses are open after the embryonic tissue is peeled off, making them easy to be infected by bacteria. It is recommended that you observe closely now. If you have symptoms of infection, such as abnormal vaginal discharge, odor, large amount, etc., seek medical attention promptly.

1. It is recommended to refrain from sexual intercourse within one month after abortion. Doctors point out that after an abortion, a woman's cervix is ​​in a relaxed state and it takes some time to recover slowly. The endometrium has also been damaged to varying degrees and cannot be fully restored in a short period of time.

2. If you have sex too soon after an abortion, bacteria can easily enter the cervix, causing inflammation, ascending infection, blockage of the fallopian tubes, and infertility.

3. After an abortion, a woman’s body resistance is very low and she is very likely to be infected with diseases. Common infections after abortion are endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease. In severe cases, it can also affect women's fertility. If you feel unwell, it is recommended to go to a regular medical institution as soon as possible.

4. Having sexual intercourse without contraception after an abortion may cause a woman to become pregnant again within a short period of time.
