Can a woman have sex after giving birth for one month?

During a woman's pregnancy, many couples choose not to have sex in order to prevent harm to the fetus. However, sexual intercourse is a normal need of the human body, so some couples choose to have sexual intercourse after a woman gives birth. There are certain regulations on the time for having sex after a woman gives birth. Having sex too early can cause great harm to a woman's body and may even make her infertile in the future. So can a woman who has given birth have sex one month after giving birth?

No, under normal circumstances, the body has not fully recovered one month after giving birth. It takes at least 6 weeks, or one and a half months, to fully recover. And after six weeks, you must go to the hospital for a check-up to see whether the uterus and internal reproductive tract have returned to normal. Only if the results are normal can you have sex.

Precautions for postpartum intercourse:

1. Pay attention to contraception

Many new mothers get pregnant because they do not take contraceptive measures when having sex after giving birth. This can cause serious physical harm to women, so you must pay attention to contraception when having sex after giving birth.

2. Be gentle

A woman's body has not fully recovered after childbirth, especially her reproductive organs are traumatized, her vagina is relatively dry, and her vaginal mucosa is very fragile. This requires her husband to be more considerate of his wife and be gentle during sex.

3. Pay attention to hygiene

Because new mothers have poor disease resistance after childbirth, the wounds in the reproductive tract still exist and have not completely healed. Therefore, when having sex at this time, you must pay attention to maintaining hygiene, especially the male genitals must be kept clean.

The dangers of having sex too early after childbirth:

1. Affect wound healing

Having sex too early can easily cause disharmony; if there is perineal laceration, vaginal laceration, cervical tear or episiotomy, pain, bleeding and organ damage may occur during sexual intercourse, thus affecting wound healing.

2. Cause infection

Having sexual intercourse too early can easily introduce bacteria, affect the healing of endometrial wounds, prolong the time of lochia discharge, and cause gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, endometritis, salpingitis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation and irregular menstruation.
