The dangers of having sex 30 days after a normal birth

It does not mean that a woman can have sex after the lochia has cleared up after a normal delivery. This idea is wrong. Having sex too early after delivery is because the body has not recovered well, the uterus and uterus have not recovered well, and it is easy to get injured or infected. It is easy to get gynecological inflammation and diseases, which is also very harmful to women's bodies. So how long after a normal delivery can a woman have sex? Let's read on.

Postpartum lochia generally lasts for 2 to 4 weeks. After that, although the lochia has cleared, the wound in the uterus has not completely healed, the physical exertion during delivery has not recovered, and the body's resistance to disease is poor. If you have sex too early, it can easily lead to infection, vaginitis, endometritis, salpingitis or menstrual disorders.

Within two months after giving birth, women generally experience low libido, which is normal. If they have sex, they often cannot achieve harmony in their married life and may cause sexual frigidity in women, affecting the relationship between the couple in the future. Generally speaking, it takes 6 to 8 weeks for the reproductive organs and other systems to recover after childbirth, and a woman's interest in sexual intercourse after childbirth will not increase significantly until the third month. Therefore, even if a woman has recovered well after giving birth, she should not have sex until two months later.

1. You cannot have sex within 40 days after a normal birth. The uterus has not fully recovered at this time. If you have sex during this period, it is likely to cause infection in the uterine cavity and you may suffer from a gynecological disease called "monthly tuberculosis" in folklore.

2. Avoid contact with cold water and cold feet, avoid eating spicy food, avoid taking a bath, and avoid heavy physical labor. Otherwise, gynecological inflammation and uterine prolapse are prone to occur. In addition, pay attention to rest and eat more high-quality protein foods.

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.

After giving birth, we need some time to recover the uterus that was stretched by the baby, the waste left in the body, the strength we used up in giving birth, etc. So this process takes time. It doesn’t mean that it will be over once the lochia is clean. Now you know, those impatient men have to wait a little longer for the sake of their wives’ health. It will take at least fifty-six days.
