How long after a vaginal rupture can I have sex?

Female childbirth, or giving birth, is a truly remarkable event. Modern medical technology is already quite advanced. As far as women are concerned, there are mainly two ways of giving birth, one is caesarean section and the other is natural birth. During a natural birth, it is possible to encounter birth canal lacerations. Here, we will discuss the issue of natural birth lacerations and how long it will take before men and women can have sex after a natural birth laceration.

It is recommended that 4-6 weeks after delivery, the mother should go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital for a comprehensive examination, especially a comprehensive examination of the reproductive system. If the doctor believes that the reproductive organs have recovered well, the lochia has cleared, the wounds of the perineum, vagina and cervix have healed completely, and the mother feels mentally prepared, then sexual intercourse can be resumed. Normally it takes 6 to 8 weeks to fully recover. It is best to have sex 1 to 2 times a week, but you should also pay attention to contraception.

What happens if you have sex too early after giving birth?

The uterus of a parturient changes greatly before and after delivery. Having sex too early after delivery will not only cause suppuration in the uterine and vaginal lacerations that have not yet recovered, but will also cause gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, cervical erosion, etc.

If women have sex too early, the vaginal wall mucosa that was stretched during childbirth becomes very thin, and there are lacerations inside the uterus. Some women even have perineum tears. It takes about 4 weeks to heal completely. In addition, the uterus that is open during childbirth cannot be completely closed in a short period of time. Therefore, sexual intercourse during the postpartum period will hinder their healing and cause bacterial infection, leading to suppuration of these lacerations.

After a woman gives birth, the changes in her uterus are considerable. The uterus will gradually shrink from large to small, and the secretions in the uterine cavity will continuously be discharged from the vagina in the form of "lochia". Due to the existence of lochia, the vaginal mucosa is damaged during childbirth, and the reproductive tract itself has very low resistance after childbirth, the reproductive tract is easily contaminated by bacteria. If you have sexual intercourse, it will invite bacterial invasion, which can easily cause uterine infection and serious diseases such as puerperal fever.

Premature sexual intercourse can also cause women to develop gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, cervicitis, cervical erosion, etc., bringing endless pain to women. Some can even cause malignant changes and the occurrence of malignant tumors such as cervical cancer and endometrial cancer.

How long after a vaginal rupture can you have sex? To sum up, under normal circumstances, you can have sex one month after delivery when the lochia is completely discharged. Some people recover slowly after childbirth. They can go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up 42 days after delivery. If the recovery is good, they can have sex. In addition, the spouse should be considerate of the mother and avoid having sex during the confinement period, otherwise it will be extremely detrimental to the recovery of the woman's physical health.
