Can I have sex during confinement?

Chinese women have the habit of confinement after childbirth, and it is a very important period. There are many taboos during confinement that women need to be aware of. Mothers in the confinement period need to supplement comprehensive nutrition and eat more foods that can increase milk production for the needs of the baby. In addition, personal hygiene should be maintained during the confinement period. So is it possible to have sex during the confinement period? Not only is it not allowed to have sex during the confinement period, but whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, sex should be considered at the earliest two months after the birth.

1. What should I do if I have sex during confinement?

It is generally recommended not to have sex within two months after giving birth. Having sex too early may cause intrauterine infection of the birth canal, prolonged lochia, increased bleeding, delayed uterine involution, etc. If there is no impact on your body this time, it is recommended to have sex again after two months, and pay attention to rest and a balanced diet.

2. The harm of having sex during confinement

When a woman gives birth, the cervix will be fully open. Even after giving birth, it will take about 3 months to fully recover. At this time, if you have sexual intercourse, bacteria may be brought into the cervix, causing infection of the cervix.

In addition, women's vagina may also suffer certain damage during childbirth. The vagina is an important part for sexual intercourse. During intense sexual intercourse, high-intensity friction may cause vaginal congestion or even rupture of small blood vessels, which poses a great threat to women's health. Most women are very weak after giving birth, and if they engage in intense sexual activity, they may become physically overdrawn.

Finally, having sex during the confinement period may also cause adnexitis, irregular menstruation, lochia, and uterine prolapse. Moreover, some couples believe that it is impossible to get pregnant during the confinement period, and instead start having sex without contraception, feeling happy and comfortable. Here I would like to remind everyone that if you have to have sex under unavoidable circumstances, you still need to wear a condom to reduce the chance of infection.
